Until Then My Friend

The fact that you're gone now leaves me in such confusion I only saw you a week ago or was that just an illusion We laughed, we cried and you said you'd be ok only was I notified a week later that you had passed away The years of our friendship twenty to be exact I've cried for a month upon looking back I still cry when I hear your name or see someone looking like you when I drive past your home I feel empty, such a void so huge I was just a small part of your life this I know but you were a giant in mine and I'm having trouble letting you go I miss you terribly, still waiting for your call I hear your voice yelling "Sunshine" then emptiness comes over me reality sets in and I know the call will never come I didn't realize that the last day that I would hug you and say goodbye would be the last day, but if I could have that one last moment to say the things I truly wanted it would be this You were a gentle giant of a man, with so much heart and soul You were a riot to be with no matter where we would go You were larger than life with your big voice and smile You were not meant to go, at least not for awhile I loved you then and I love you now and forever will you be in my heart I wish you didn't have to leave, for my friend we had to part Know you will be with me, for everyday that I remain I carry the friendship on until I see you again Save me a seat at that table my dear as you promised holding that shot and a beer Until then my friend....
