When a chapter is closed,
When a book ends,
When with life you move on
And leave behind your friends,
What do you do?
Look up at the sky so blue,
See the ocean so deep,
And realise-
In this vast expanse of life,
All is not lost-
You have your friendship to keep.
Treasure it, cherish it,
Live it, and savour every bit.
‘Cause in the lonesome nights
When cold winds blow,
You will often draw comfort
From someone you know.
Was it karma or was it fate
That brought you together?
What was that little something
That made you friends forever?
What saw you through laughter
And saw you through the tears?
What supported you in your sorrow
And shared your joyous cheer?
I don’t know what it was…
And neither do you.
But it was a friend’s presence
That turned my grey skies blue.
Thank you, friend
For being there for me.
Your existence in my life
Is cherished for eternity.
Know that you are loved
And your presence lives on,
And our friendship will be strong as ever
long after we are gone.
It is this world we will leave.
And a legacy we’ll leave behind.
For now, this priceless treasure
Is guarded jealously in our minds.
