Last Words

You and your friends are the main characters I am just a camera man recording the moments You people loved and cared for each other but me Today was a day to rejoice at the familiar park I would love to remember my one last day Great memories were cherished and kept The sandbox was walked on with my final print Leaving me behind in the back, alone was enough I walk along to the streets, still recording The first time I hear your voice calling my name Screaming at me to move away now I turn to see and so my whole life ended Was it tears of joy or sadness? I am long gone; there is no need to shed a tear The place I lay is now my home The friends are heartbroken, but why? I gave too much pain in life People should be happy now You gather at my memorial You say your prayers and wishes to me I will not be able to stand by you I watch in silence from a new home I weep until the last person leaves The only tears I have shed for everyone People gather to watch the video The memories and the pain Again there were more tears Others walked away from the beginning The people who stayed were there to the end I see myself holding the new camera I leave the camera pointed to someone special She was always a great friend to me We shared our memories and secrets Her name is on thing I can’t say She changed my life and how I see it I called her my best friend The memories we both experienced were forgotten She left me old and made new friends I believed in fantasy not reality The warm smile changed to a normal smile The way I think of her has also changed I have a secret, but will you listen At the end, you realized I wasn’t important But when I was by your side I was your friend How things change during a couple of years I have forgotten friendship I have forgotten love One thing I won’t forget is my last word: goodbye
