Years ago I found a friend
funny, caring, faithful and true.
I love her a lot and still she’s gone.
I wish I knew where I have failed you.
**
Doesn’t friendship mean ‘together’,
no matter how hard the times may come?
Friends may laugh and they may cry,
they even argue, when it’s troublesome.
**
But the love should carry them together
through friendship, life; through thick and thin.
Your friendship means the world to me
no matter where I was, I will be, or I’ve ever been.
**
Should I have hurt you, then I’m sorry.
You know me well, this I would never do!
As my friend, can you forgive me
and let me get it right for you?
**
One of the bases in the past years
was our friendship in my heart.
You have just left and yet I miss you.
My safe haven broke apart.
**
Your wisdom and your humor,
the way you laugh and talk with me
this is what I miss so much now
I’d hug you, on the count of three!
**
In case what I have done now
cannot be fixed, it is too bad…
I’ll still remember you with my love
helpless, clueless, and unbelievably sad.
