Sweet echoes from the past sing out their song,
Remembrance of what was and could have been.
The dreams and fears of how it went so wrong
Still conjures your missed visage long unseen.

You took a treasured place within my heart.
We spent a time as long lost friends of yore.
That ended much too soon, not on my part,
For reasons lost and gone for evermore.

You live your life, do what you wish to do,
Deserving your most joyous love unbound.
And why should such as I who loved you too
Regret the measured joy you now have found.

Only the best for you my dearest friend
That's all I wish until your brief life's end.
