Patricia

I passed by your exit today
I wanted to come by
I miss you

You are my best friend
You are my pal
You are a light

Hadn't heard from you in a while
Hadn't laughed out loud
Hadn't heard you smile

Why did you not call
Why did you not say goodbye
Why did you have to get sick

I picked up my phone
I put in your number
I got no reply

You were gone
You left me alone
You had died

At first I didn't believe it
At least someone should have called
At least you are no longer suffering

Wrote your parents a letter today
Wrote about our friendship
Wrote that I was sorry for their loss

One day I might send it to them
One day I might stop missing you
One day I will see you again in Heaven

I miss my best friend
I miss my pal
I miss you Patricia

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Kp Nunez February 24, 2015 at 7:11 AM I love this. The thought, the inspiration, the emotion is not forced, but is just welcomed and expressed. I love the spaces in between. However, Par 3, line 2, you might want to check it again...maybe "seen" instead of "heard"? Let me know, I 'll reverse my comment. Welcome to PoetrySoup, Steven. :D Kim Patrice
