I Lost My Best Friend






I said goodbye to my best friend the other day
I did not know how much I would miss him
Such a huge part of my life has just gone
I talked to him every day about just everything
He was always there, and he loved me.

No judgement, I didn’t have to be anything
But me
A hug, cuddle, meal, drink, a nice warm bed

We travelled all over the country together
He looked after me while I looked after him
Friends we made, adventures we did have
Some days were spent workin’ hard
Others spent just kicked back and good times had

We grew together, over the miles, seeing the sites together
A hug, cuddle, meal, drink, a nice warm bed

There were times when the pain was oh so bad
In bed the days would have passed but for him
He needed to walk, I had to get up and out
He saved my life time and time again
Gave me something to do, to live for

I was me and he was himself, we laughed and played together
A hug, cuddle, meal, drink, a nice warm bed.

The list of people who loved, liked, who miss you grows
Who ever thought the hole you would leave would be so big

Not just my best friend, my best mate
Not forgotten.
