I'm still here in spite of it all…in spite of the fact that I haven't written or called…the fact that you've grown into the person you are says a lot about friendship and how you've decidedly handled it thus far…

I'm sure even now, like me, you sit and wonder what if…and then begin to ponder, Thoughts of wishing things were still as such…don't worry friend your not alone my thoughts reflect just as much…

But even now my life is as I chose it, the path I was meant to follow the love as I've known it. Hard to hear yes…I know this is so, for my friend you may never understand why it is I had to go…just remember these words and follow your heart…for I'm never to far from u when life comes apart….



Friend, I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and each day
and it's within your heart I am hoping to stay…



My body is gone but I'm always near. I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
 My spirit is free, for I'll never depart
 as long as you keep me alive in your heart.



I'll never wander out of your life-
I'm the brightest star on any given night. 
I'll never be beyond your vast reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.



I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
 I'm the beautiful sunsets of which you're so fond,
the clear cool water in a quiet blue pond.



I'm the first bright sunrise you'll see in the spring,
the first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon might be mine.



When you start thinking that no one loves you,
you can talk to me through the stars above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the hot summer breeze.



I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on anyone's face.
Just look around, friend, I'm everyplace...
