Who could have dreamed such a terrible dream?
Or imagined the pitiful scream? Not I...
In a million years' in a second's split,
A friend was about to die.
I held him close and stroked his head,
I begged him not to leave.
No sound he made, just looked at me,
And told me not to grieve.
But Oh! The place here in my heart
Where you will always live
Echoes empty for your smile
And the love you had to give.
Dear friend, when I'm alone at night
And reach out. Touch my hand.
Please kiss away the tears that course,
And help me understand.
