My Friend

My friend has gone ahead of me
And I am finding it so hard to see
Through the tears that keep falling
I try but I cannot stop bawling

Each time she comes to mind
I well up and find
I miss her so much
And cannot get in touch

Like days of old
When we would hold
Conversations on line
Time after time

Cannot accept she is not there
Life is just not fair
I want her back
Leader of the pack

To see her face again
And not be in this pain
To hear her sound
To know that she was still around

How I wish I could turn back time.
