I Never Will Forget
Charlene Gonzales
Beneath the tinted glass, laid upon your heart,
the darkness left you all alone, and tore your mind apart.
Remembering the days, of happiness and fun,
made memories from the past, by the bullet from a gun.
I never could have known, when the call came that night,
they said that you had died, and left without a fight.
No friend has ever meant, as much to me as you,
I've wondered now for days, how I'm going to see this through.
We've seen and done it all, no secret left unsaid,
through all the ups and downs, but now they say you're dead.
I can't believe you've gone, what's more it was your choice,
I'll never see your face again, I'll never hear your voice.
Your beauty shown from inside out, your heart so soft and warm,
you'd speak to me so sweetly, the calm before the storm.
I always swore your smile, was the sun in a disguise,
your laughter rings through my mind, your eyes light up the skies.
My heart feels hollow and alone, a wound that will not heal,
I sometimes wonder if you see, this emptiness I feel.
Still everyday your name appears, as if inscribed into my soul,
we swore that we were sisters, and together we'd grow old.
But the hardest part is yet to come, now I must let you go,
time continues to move on, you understand I know.
Please save me a place in heaven, a day to reminisce and play,
for you now hold the key, to the memories we'll share that day.
I will always treasure, the precious moments of our past,
and I'm sure I'll always wonder, why it didn't last.
Your soul flies with no restraint, so peaceful and so free,
so I know that God was right, and this was always meant to be.
My love I send to you, though filled with sorrow and grief,
your stay here meant so much to me, no matter how long or brief.
So fly to brighter places, and go without regret,
for all these memories in my heart, I never will forget.
In dedication to my oldest and dearest friend Susie D. - died 11/24/95
