I thought of you today
As I walked pass your door
Hoping it would slide open
Just one more time
One more chance
To see that smile of you again
One more chance
To hear you laugh again
We don’t always get what
We wish for,
one thing I could never
Have imagined was
Having you as part of my life
So even though your door
Will not slide open today
Even if I don’t see your smile again
One thing’s for sure,
The laughter and memories we
Shared,
Will remain one of my most blessed gifts…
Where glass so breaks destructively
The heart, it shatters too
But for now, I pray it whole
This, I wish for you
No heart’s as great as yours my friend
A gentle one indeed
So pain should never be inflicted
As well, to never bleed
I ask that God, He smile on you
That He warm your very heart
May you smile and feel all love
Good wishes, I hope to impart
