A Painful Goodbye

At first I could not cry, The shock was so severe. I can't believe we lost you, A friend held so dear. I did not know you for long, But it felt like years. Now I sit alone it sinks in, I cannot stop the tears. To hear this tragic news about you, Was one of my biggest fears. I always hoped you would be back, But reality has hit me with a smack. You were a great friend with a huge heart, Though we lived oceans apart. You always did your best, And now you are at rest. Fun, happy, kind and true, I will never forget you. Though my heart may not fully mend. Rest In Peace my dear friend.
