The pain of the past it seems at times
Still creeps in at night to haunt my mind
The days since past, so long before
The grief I felt as you walked out the door
I spent so many days just wondering why
My nights consumed by tears in my eye
Death would be better than grief with no end
And the bitter pain of losing my best friend
The despair in my life, everyone could see
My friends and family worried about me
The kid's so confused as their life's torn apart
Waiting for mom and dad to make a new start
My life stood still as like never before
Wanting so much to see your face at my door
Three months did pass and at last that day came
A new start together and life's never been the same
The pain of the past it seems at times
Still creeps in at night to haunt my mind
My words to you as I bring this to an end
Don't take for granted your very best friend
