Last night I lost a dear friend in my life

A friend so close like a husband to a wife

Her thoughts and words so softly spoken

That tender heart I have now broken

Telling her often, days upon end

She is beautiful and sexy, my special friend

A promise to her that I did make

A friend like her I would not forsake

We chatted daily for hours on end

Growing together, this lady, my friend

Building a bond that grew ever stronger

Time we shared became longer and longer

A diamond has faucets, an onion it's layers

To protect her heart from those who would betray 

Thus my goal, to protect and to serve

Until she found love I promised to stay

For in her life there was a broken vow

I pledged to be different. Someway. Somehow.

Her painful past, she would not share

I opened my heart because I do care

I stood by her side as she grew bolder and stronger

My time drew near, it wouldn't be much longer

We both knew that it was God's master plan

Preparing her heart for one lucky man

Then late one night she attempted to share

A personal problem for me to dwell

I hurt her deeply, this lady I know

For causing her pain, now I must go

How deep are my feelings, this you may ask

I'd live or die for you. In a heartbeat. A flash

Feelings like this, to me are new

To walk away now, is to never hurt you

I write this poem with tear filled eyes

Believe me girl, I really did try

Never to hold you, that much is true

Forgive me baby, but I'll always love you

I knew there would come a day

Her heart would find a man

One who could love her forever

More deeply than I ever can

I know him not, nor seen his face

But into her life he will walk with such grace

To him I must trust with her heart and her life

Bring love and joy to her... my best friend... your wife
