Shooting Star

So many memories
Of a friendship shared
So many ways
You showed you cared

Old friend, I miss you dearly
And wonder where you are now
Our last words were forgotten
For I don't know why you left or how

We used to play make-believe
Together every remembered day
But now the memories have faded
into the past of yesterday

How long has it been now?
I can't even remember
The last time I saw your face
Before you left forever

Your smile welcomed me in
As I reminisce on when we met
Your eyes, so young and sweet
You the friend I won't forget

I've tried to contact you
But you would never call back
I hope you still remember me
For your friendship I still lack.

I wonder if your dead, or alive
Another friend gone and past
Sometimes I fear the worst
Wish at least one memory could last

I cry and think of you
A friend that I once knew
Shot through me life like a Shooting Star
But sadly, it seems you've soared too far

I look up to the sky still hoping
I will see you again some day
But in my heart I know it true
That you are gone and away

Like a shooting star, though me life you flew
Over and in my life, Too fast you went by
I will forget you and your dreams never
But we never had a last hug or last goodbye

Ya, you shot through my life like a shooting star....

*Dedicated to my old friend Chloe, and all my friends who have past through my life too fast but will never be forgotten.*
