Poem for my friend.

I read this poem somewhere and it perfectly reflects the way I felt. So here you go.                                    

                                       When Tomorrow Started Without You                                                 

When tomorrow started without you

I felt so much alone

I know I shouldn’t cry

The way I did that day

Thinking of the many things

We never got to say

I know how much you love me

As much as I love you

And each time that I think of you

I know you miss me too

But when tomorrow started without you

I couldn’t understand

That an angel came and called your name

And took you by the hand

He said your place was ready

In heaven far above

But that you’d have to leave behind

All of us you dearly love

As I walked on past you

A tear fell from my eye

For in all those years I’d never thought

One day I’d watch you die

You had so much to live for

So much yet to do

It seemed so unbelievable

That your time on earth was up

I thought of all the yesterdays

The good ones and the bad

I still think of all the love we shared

And all the fun we had

If I could relive your last

Just even for a while

I’d say goodbye and hug you

And once more see you smile

But then I fully realized

That this could never be

But even though you’re gone

Your memory still lives in me

I know that day is coming

Though it may be far from now

When I too will hear the Angel’s call

And God’s mighty trumpets sound

I miss you more than I can say

But when I pass through those gates

And see you waiting there

I’ll run to you

And cry tears of joy

Knowing that at last

We’ll have eternity to share
