How can i forget you ?

How could i forget?
how could i forget the one who would gently hold my hand
how could i forget the one who would always understand

how could i forget you when if i cried you'd cry
how could i forget you when you had to go and die

you were the one who'd help me whenever i'd feel down
and you were the one who'd make me smile if you saw on me a frown

if i was feeling lonely then you would take my side
you would never let me run away you would never let me hide

if i perchance would start to cry
you would turn my grief to laughter
and you'd promise you would stay close by
not just then but everafter

you were the one who's heart was full
of compassion and of love
and on my heart strings you would pull
like an angel from above

though you were not someone who had fame
to me you were a star
if i needed you i'd call your name
i knew youd not be far

and yet those times you stood by me
you suffered so much pain
not telling any soul you'd see
you would cry in great refrain

you knew that life for you was short
and that one day you'd leave
yet not once did you ask support
just in silence you would grieve

others saw you as a friend
but i knew you were a star
someone on whom i could depend
yet someone who bore a scar

a scar so deep no one could see
the agony you felt inside
the strength that you would give to me
i never knew you cried

i only kew that when i cried
you would smile and hold my hand
when i was thinking suicide
you would always understand

you always said i must be strong
though you knew you were to go
and how you left us was so wrong
but thats something you must know

all the strength you gave to me
you were weaker every day
i wonder if the cause was me
did i make you go away

now that is something i cant know
all i do know i survived
because you left for me a glow
and its me who's still alive

what you did for me leaves me in awe
you literally saved my life
and now your gone i cant be sure
if you took with you my strife

its true to say i still feel pain
and sometimes want this to end
but if we could ever meet again
i would say thank you my friend
