It's Been Almost a Year
I remember how and
Where I first met you
We chatted on the phone
We talked about the world
And then we became friends
It seemed so easy and natural
We laughed and made our plans
We cried when things were bad
The years went by between us
Our words were always near
We knew no better friendship
That only we could share
But it's been almost a year since you've travelled on
As I look through these photos of you smiling
And yet my heart's still broken now that you're gone
My head can't forget the pain that
I'll never see you again
Never again…
I am reminded that time heals
I am told things will get better
But I can't see those pages
Written in that story's tale
It's late and the dim firelight
Dances without any care
I don't want to go to sleep
I know my dreams can't come true
Maybe you were thinking of me
When that time arrived for you
Maybe you were saddened
That I was away and alone
But it's been almost a year since you've travelled on
And I close my eyes with thoughts of you smiling
And yet my heart's still broken now that you're gone
My head can't forget the pain that
I'll never see you again
Never again…
