Disclaimer: This poem originally belongs to me and no one other. Based on memories of mine, and a great friend.
'Tears Behind The Glass.'
As a good friend of mine once told me,
People will come to pass.
But, memories will never vain,
Photographs will last.
-
I knew he was right at the time.
The people they can take.
But never will they get what's in your heart.
It's a memory unable to break.
-
"I will always be there for you."
Is what people tend to say.
While deep inside you know it's not true,
Forever, no one can stay.
-
Yet, it feels so good at those times.
Two warm arms around you, for you to hold on to.
From that day on I knew, you'd be there for me.
And I would be there for you.
-
Time went by, as we moved on.
You are calling me now, a friend of you has gone.
Another problem for you to deal with.
Another life is done.
-
This is were I was your support,
This time you would lean on me.
Even though, I can't bring them back,
They're in your heart and you hold that key.
-
Think about the good times,
And know that the memories are yours.
I know the pain is stronger at times,
But if you turn to me, their will be open doors.
-
Of course, we want nothing more than our lost ones back.
To hear them laugh and talk.
But one day, It will be us on that road,
Finding our way to walk.
-
And I wish I could hold on to you forever.
Like, letting go would be the end.
Never let go, never leave your side,
That is what you call a true friend.
-
So I'll tell you once again,
When you need me I'll be here.
Each and every day,
Here, is were I'll stay.
