Goodbye, Friend

It still makes me cry But now I can keep the tears inside Everytime I try to let them out A stifled cry in my throat is all that shows I know he's in Heaven And I'm oh so glad for that! Yet something still remains Death never should be It seems an injustice to me Something God never intended us to see He should have lived forever I should have never needed to say goodbye And that is why I cry He never was my best friend Not really my companion But he was always there in the backdrop A co-starring role Part of my life, no matter how big or small And now he's gone I can't imagine life without him, even though I'm living it It's strange, something I never thought I'd have to think about But now he's gone Wonder what he'd say if he saw me now It still makes me cry But I try, to hide these tears inside Until the day they're wiped away By God's unchanging Hand
