And so here I sit
You are gone
Away to somewhere wonderful
I like to think
The selfishness of wishing you back
To the pain you were in
Overwhelms me
I cannot do that
Perhaps you are afraid
To wish me there
Thinking I would miss life
And so.......... cross purposes
Speaking strictly for myself
Following you was
All I ever really wanted to do

Lorna - Such sad and heartfelt words. Let's hope that we may all meet up again with our lost ones. I once wrote some lines following the death of a close friend - "Think well of me now I am gone. The world now dark where once the sun had shone" Go well John
A sensitive write Lorna.
Brilliant!
A feeling we all know too well. Splendid write.
We all have to deal with the loss of our friends . More so when we get older. It's hard . But you have to keep that friend or loved one in your heart . And in your mind. Think of them often . Think of the good times. Speak of them often. Keep pictures around . It's those things that keep them alive. You know their pain is gone. And that is a good thing. Keep your memories. so sorry for youe loss.
Very emotive words Lorna but your friend will always be within your heart.
Andy
That's deep.
