Day Four - To Say Good-bye

Not my best work, but when there's too much to say, sometimes it's best to keep it simple.

We'll find a way to smile
to make it through
to honour our friendship
and remember you

inside we'll wonder
did you really know
how much you were loved
when you decided to go

we reached for you
to lift you up
to help you out
it wasn't enough

so now we're here
without saying goodbye
struggling with anger
and sorrow and lies

you truly were special
to so many you knew
yet you couldn't see it
maybe you didn't want to

we'll never know
what brought the end
we'll just lay it to rest
beside our friend

and we'll find a way to smile
somehow we'll make it through
and we'll honour our friendship
and ALWAYS remember you.
