Even though
you left this world
before you should have
you never left my heart.
When I hear
your favorite songs
I see you singing
dancing
and I cry
and I smile.
When I dream
you often are there
conversing with me
saying things
I know you’d say
so wise
but always laughing.
You were always
making mischief
but you were
steadfast,
there when
I needed you most.
Even when
we no longer kissed
you always loved me
and I always loved you
as friends should.
I know you will never
walk the earth again
so I will just
consider this
a long distance friendship.
