Friendship Never Dies

When darkness comes and my family is asleep
I step outside to look at the stars and I try not to weep.
Some shine brighter than others, you also have the moon.
I wonder if you're up there watching, it seems like you've gone too soon.
The sky looks like velvet, dark blue and soft.
If you're up there, then it's like that time in Summersville when we stayed in the loft.
We were up so high and all was fun.
We would laugh and play, joke and run.
You were stolen from me and it doesn't seem fair.
The pain is still fresh, sometimes too hard to bare.
I have a feeling you're in a good place.
I think of our childhood, the ribbons and lace.
I think of our teen years, yours unfinished.
My love for you will stay strong, it will never diminish.
I wipe away a fallen tear.
I go back inside, and I think it's your voice I hear.
I get into bed and close my eyes.
It comforts me to know that true friendship never dies.
