Just a note to let you know I came by to see you today.
I didn’t know what to say, so I just sat there by your side.
Memories flooded my mind of a time long before,
A time when our lives were full laughter.
Back when we saw ourselves as immortal.
Never once did it cross my mind then that
Today would I be by your side and not be able to say a word.
The only sound heard was that of a mocking bird calling for its mate.
Its song was one of hope and of peace, then
A gentle breeze picked up the perfume of the wild flowers.
It was if you were telling me "I'm ok now".
I left you a little red rose.
As I cut the little rose I thought of your blushing cheeks,
Of your pretty smile.
You sleep now pretty lady,
For when you awake your friends will again be by your side.
I just hope that when that day comes
You want have forgotten a bushy haired boy
You knew many years before who
Never passes the old church without thinking
About you.
