You were there for me, when everyone else walked out.
You ran to me when you heard me shout.
You opened a door everyone locked....
When I did something bad, you forgave me and forgot.
You looked at me for who I am,
Personality, yes; looks, you didn't give a damn.
When I needed help, you were there....
When I had a problem, you were the one who cared.
When I was alone,
You were there for me on the phone.
When I needed to count on someone, it was you....
Did I treat you the same way too?
For you are there for me, until the end...
I'll never forget you, my dear true friend.

Good bye.....

I looked at the window and wiped a single dripping tear.
The end I knew was coming near.
Your face, still happy, made me smile,
As the plane flew another mile.
Memories remained in my thoughts....
Our good times, our bad times...when we fought.
Our childhood days passed by so fast.
Hard to believe that's all in the past.
Another tear, dropped on the floor....
But my mind was opening another door.
Our recent trips, get togethers, and lots more fun...
They were spent in the land of the Rising Sun.
I won't forget you, that's not a lie.
But now I have to leave, and say good-bye.

Journey

In Time we journey on our own...
Venturing in a world of unknown.
We could take a path many have taken before,
Or take one that leads into a place of much more.
Which one we pick is for us to choose.
Take a chance, there's nothing to lose.
For on the path we make several a turn,
On which a new lesson we must learn.
During our path, we must try to bend,
Try and understand our "dead end",
But as we find, there's always a way out.
Just as long as you have no doubt.
This path we choose can be taken alone.
Or traveled with many of the same tone.
Most of us prefer to have a companion,
Then to travel alone through the canyon.
As we journey on that road,
We must remember what we've been told.
"Different people have different strokes,"
"If their style isn't yours, don't be provoked."
The path you choose is yours to create.
Don't rely on another's good fate.
This journey is your own story,
It's up to you to gather your glory.

The Accident

Her deep dark eyes are empty with fear.
Her soft round face is moist with a tear.
She waits for something she could not find,
The thought of loneliness clouds her mind.

Her long flowing hair tumbles down her shoulder.
Her once radient smile seems to be colder.
She wonders why her path took this sudden turn.
The lesson it taught was one she could not learn.

Her will to remain in this world seems very weak.
Her mountain of pity has been climbed to the peak.
She remembers the joy in life that was taken away.
The feeling of true happiness is not with her today.

Her memories are swallowed by the sound of the crash.
Her eyes only see her love turn into soft gray ash.
She stood over the grave now with a single pale flower.
The image of the accident haunts her every hour.

Her soft lips whisper a solemn silent prayer.
Her darkest time of life has never been grayer.
She now detests all drunk people who drive very late.
The reason why, one of them caused the death of her lover's fate.

More than a Friend

You stood by my side all this time....
You helped me write poems that do rhyme.
But I never noticed you, I never cared.
I never thought of the joy we shared.

You made me laugh during times of despair.
You lightened my sorrow when it was too much to bear.
But still I looked for someone who had much more.
I never thought it you were the one I was looking for.

You supported me when I was too weak to stand.
You were always there when I needed a hand.
But even though...I looked in the other direction.
I never thought of you and your loving perfection.

You let me cry on your shoulder with tears.
You showed me how to oevercome my fears.
But in spite of it all, I didn't look back.
I never thought it was you I lacked.

You calmed me down when I was out of control.
You listened to my problems with the help to console.
But again, I ran to someone else's arms.
I never thought of your goodwit and charms.

You found the solution to a problem I couldn't solve.
You advised me when not to get involved.
But I ignored you once again....
Because I never thought of you as more than a friend.
