I still remember
The day you left me
Feels like it was just yesterday
I remember the tears I cried
Loosing my very best friend
It was a cold December day
Friday the 13th of all days
I felt so alone
I needed you
Very desperately needed you
Needed to love you
Needed to hold you
Needed to hug you
I needed to know you still loved me
But you were gone

I wept all day
I cried all night
Knowing you were gone
Never to have you welcome me home again
Never to have you kiss my tears away
To let me know
Your silent way
Things would be okay
Even now, so many years later
I weep for you still
Knowing you are still gone
In your own little heaven.
My loyal little companion

Always held my secrets
Never telling me
How wrong I was.
How bad I messed up
Never pointed out my mistakes
Always happy to see me
Never bitter or angry
I remember your warmth
You sleeping next to me
So many years we spent together
Childhood playmates
Best of friends
I'll always remember you
My little companion.
