| This is another early poem. |
|
| You never know how much you love somebody; |
| until that loved one is gone. |
| Then you must travel down the road of life alone; |
| bearing the burden of guilt and regret. |
| As you travel down the dark road of life; |
| you glance over your shoulder at the fun times you've had. |
| And with a lump in your throat and lead in your heart; |
| you continue on your journey, down the grim road of life. |
| While you travel down that dismal road, you turn around again; |
| to see the fun things you've done, how you laughed and kissed. |
| And with a tear in your eye you continue once more; |
| and as you walk in the darkness, you whisper. |
| "Farewell good friend, thank you for the times we've shared; |
| and should you ever change your mind, remember I'll always love you." |
