With tears, as they silently stream down,
and with an indescribable aching pain.
I lost a friend today,
a friend who always had a big smile for me.
Can you feel me holding your hand?
As i do so everytime you sleep?
Will you remember us watching the world cup matches
in the wee hours in the morning?
Or how i made you lose blackjack to your friends?
Maybe even the smuggled sips of 7-up?
Do you know the amount of sadness i'm feeling now that you're gone?
While others remember you as a great man,
i'll remember you as a dear friend.
Will you ever know you took a little bit of me when you left?
