My Lost Friend

A person that was once close to me is no longer here,
That day I wouldnt believe the newspaper in the obituaries his name was there,
I just sat in my car for hours thinking of all the good times while shedding my tears,
How could a person leave so fast that should of had many more happy years,
We always helped each other out and laughed while facing our biggest fears,
Giving everyday the benefit of the doubt as friends laughing about things and having a few beers,
This person showed emotion to all the things that meant a lot in life and that he cares,
Now am understanding that a piece of my heart I give him now and in heaven he shares,
It has changed me because to everyone I love in life I realize we may not have a second to spare,
Sometimes it is like a game of answering if I should tell the truth or take a dare,
Anyway my friend I know when I am talking about you I can tell sometimes you listen and adhere,
On a final note ,I will not understand why you left so soon but somebody has better plans for you elsewhere.
