always when you're silent
i am at a loss for words
and later in the darkness
i'll think of what i could have said
words to keep you happy
and words to help you live
gifts of love and knowledge
that i thought too slow to give
any time you need me i'll be there
in your arms and in your world again
so the time has come, our courses run
we'll soon be parting ways
not from disagreement
but the promise of much brighter days
since nothings ever gone this well
i've learned so much from you
thankyou for your honesty
please just let me say
i had a vision of your future
with your cane and long silver hair
you grew old and wise with few regrets
for fate, to you, is fair
though many times you've called on me
in need of one good friend
just one quiet whisper and
i will be with you again
