Goodbye My Friend

in #poetry7 years ago

Lucky for me that someone wrote a poem about their best friend. This is one of my favorite poems that I wrote. Just making sure that it gets out to as many people as possible.

--

It was such a long time since I saw you,
although I did think of you so often.
But the distance between us was too great
and the times I did speak with you so few.

I never thought in a million years’ time
that I would not ever see you again.
That before we met again you would die
and your ashes spread in the salty brine.

I will miss you all the rest of my days.
You were truly the best friend I ever had
and I was not there when you needed me.
From my lips, you’ll receive nothing but praise.

I’m sure it was to heaven your soul flew.
Goodbye, my friend, I will really miss you.

Yes, he will be forever missed. In 41 more days it will be the 5th anniversary of his death. I still get teary-eyed thinking of him and also how I wasn't there when he needed me most.

God bless his soul ❤️

This is so sad. But he's in good hands now.

May he rest in peace.

It has been almost 5 years now and I still get very sad, even teary, when I think about him.

That is very touching.

Thank you. It is hard for me to think about it without getting a little emotional. Actually, next month is the 5 year anniversary of his death. It doesn't seem near that long.
