A Silent Goodbye

THIS is to remember my dear old friend
Memories I have, fading away
I walk on this road that has no end
In search of my friend, in a hopeless way.

I listen to bird songs in distant lands
To which my silent applause, brings me a tear
On this dreary dark night, 
I wish you could hold my hands, 
And give me comfort that you’re here.

You lifted me from bended knees
Made me a friend, as I regained my strength.
Before this setting sun, in times like these,
Thy smile would spread without restrain.

I look up into the sky, upon that fading light
The setting sun, a beckoning star 
Farewell my friend, wherever you are.

Goodbyes are always sad, but goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes, for those who love with their hearts, there is no such thing as goodbye.
