in very loving memory of the best bud a girl could ask for <3

A Promise To My Best Friend

I know you can't hear me too well anymore with those old-man ears of yours, so maybe I'll just write what I want to say:

Even though your chestnut face may be hued with grey
And your old, warm eyes may be dull
I have so, so much left to say
But your time is short; I'll try not to mull

So, quite simply:
You're still my best of friends
And I'll be there for you until the end.

No matter which path you go down in your final days
Wherever your old body ultimately lays,
I'll be right beside you, till you die
(And I'll even try my best not to cry)

Because I know you'll be at peace
Somewhere in the sky towards the East
Where you can run and play
And lounge in the sun all day

So, my friend, this may be goodbye
As I said, I'll do my best not to cry
You'll always be in my heart,
I've loved you from the start.
