I Miss You

I miss you more than I could ever properly stress... You were a great friend, a true proper friend that anyone would be lucky to have known and luckier still to call their friend. I cherish the many times we shared together in laughter and fun. I think of you often and wish to go back to those simpler days, when things didn't get complicated or even hard. But as I write these words and remember you I wish for only your forgiveness. I let you down and I so very sorry. If I could have been a better person. A better friend then maybe now we'd still be able to share the laughter, the happiness, the pain, and the sadness within our lives. But as it is I abandoned you and lost a truly precious gift. If not for my selfishness perhaps you still might smile in the most dire of times... with an aching heart and heavy head I ask for your forgiveness as I lay you down to rest Perhaps if I were better, If I had been a good true friend Then you would have felt so alone in the end My dear Alleria... I miss you every day With an aching heart I now finally say Goodbye sweet friend...it has been a year I must go, and leave you once more. But this time I leave you in the hands of God He will care for you and guide you With as much love as I possess... Farewell... I will always, miss you. --- In Loving memory: Alleria June 07, 1993-August 20. 2012
