Don't be scared you said.
But I am.
Toughen up you teased.
And I will.
You were my love and my strength,
My hope for the future – but more than that my friend.
You said you'd always be there –
But you're gone.
Forever this time.
And I miss you.
My heart aches.
My world is empty.
I'm surrounded by so many who care.
But I feel completely and totally alone.
More alone than ever before.
More scared than anyone knows.
And I hurt.
I ache for you.
I wish you could take me with you.
I can't imagine going on without you.
But I am.
And I will.
Until we meet again
My friend.
