You told me not to cry when you were gone,
But this feeling's overwhelming
Its much too strong.
I'm missing you like crazy.
I now feel this emptiness,
Like something's missing.
Then I remembered,
It's because I lost you.
Grief has taken over me.
I didn't want to lose you...
And what about goodbye?
Did you forget all about that?
Now I'm left with discomfort.
You were my confidant.
You were my other half.
But most of all,
You were my best friend.
Our friendship was forever,
But it pains me that we aren't together.
I need my best friend.
I need you.
Not one day passes that I don't miss you,
That I don't miss your presence.
But the day will come,
When I will meet you again
In the afterlife I guess.
I'll be waiting for that day,
When we are finally reunited.
I'll have my best friend again,
And then maybe I'll be complete once more.
