For You From Me

Don't turn away, Don't blink an eye.
 In some respect we never see,
 faster than we can ever believe.
 Once standing proud, on solid ground.
 You cannot know, you cannot grieve.
 All you can know is what will be.
 Memories are all that's left, 
 A tribute to life lived, hearts touched.
 Go now for it is gone, nothing left to linger on.
 Remembrance for times shared, laughter, yelling,
 and emotions bared.
 Shed not those tears of sadness, 
 give strength and shoulder in times like these.
 Carry on from now 'till then, 
 I'll see you in the end my friend.
