There was a time that all was right,
We friends were all together,
The laughs and smiles seemed to never end,
Then one of us left forever.

Laughter seemed to subside,
The jokes became less told,
Silence seemed to regulate,
Itself among the room,
Take away one piece of the wall,
The rest begins to crumble.

Our friendship still endured,
Though without one party,
Our lives began to live again,
Our smiles started to come back,
We’ve lost one that we love,
And yet he’s in our hearts.

A tender future seems to unfold,
The old jokes seem to come back to us,
The crowd is not without its loss,
But we’ve learned to work through.

Our friend is not forgotten,
He lives on every day,
We miss him every moment,
And every minute he’s in our thoughts.
Our hearts ache for the memories,
But our minds look twards new skies.
