Your laugh was like sunshine, warmed me from within
Oh how I wish your sunshine were in my life again
‘Once upon a time’ turned so quickly into ‘the end’
A book, long left behind, I thought I had a friend
Memories now linger, shadows in my mind
The echoes of our laughter, a bond I cannot find
Secrets told on whispers both on and offline
I thought I had a friend, but now I’m left behind
I hope you live every day without a single thought of me
I hope you love and laugh often and are feeling peacefully
I hope you never miss my presence as I still miss you
I hope you some day remember this friendship remains true
I thought I knew the answer, the way we were meant to be
Now it’s changed and the world looks so different from this reality
Lost all of the illusions, no idea where I and we went wrong
I thought we were the forever friends, but truth never was that strong
A new chapter opens, with a wife now by your side
Glad your happiness blooms, but its pushed me out of your life
You have a new beginning, guess it’s right that old chapters fade
I just thought our friendship was stronger and of sterner stuff, made
I hope you live every day without a single thought of me
I hope you love and laugh often and are feeling peacefully
I hope you never miss my presence as I still miss you
I hope you some day remember this friendship remains true
I wish it could be different, or at least that I knew why
For near two years, I pondered it, and did deeply sigh
Once more an email and nevermore came your reply
I wrote it up in a song, my way of saying, ‘goodbye’…
