The Day I Heard The News

This Poem is about one of my friends I lost this year from cystic fibrosis...I miss him so much..I have so much regret because of so many things I didn't do for him...well here goes nothing..

I woke up that day
No different than any other day
No not in a single way

I walked towards the kitchen
Not to know soon I would be Smitten

I saw my mom
She said we needed to talk
My heart felt heavy
I could barely even walk

She sat me in her lap and
Tears in her eye
Told me that you had finally said goodbye

You always made me laugh
Was here when I cried
You also heard earlier this year Our good friend had died

My heart now full of pain
Full or sorrow
Full of shame

I was going to call
I didn't take the time
I didn't think you'd lose your life On a dime

I remember all those precious Times we spent together
I only wish we could have known Eachother better!

You left over 18 months ago
I begged you on the phone
I begged you not to go
You then pulled away
Never wanted to talk or listen to Anything I had to say

I felt you forgot, didn't care a bit
I finally gave up
Now I feel so much regret

I miss you so much
I'll be with you soon
Just wait for me
I promise I'll be there soon
