The pain of losing a friend,

Is like a wound that can never fully mend.

The memories flood in like a wave,

Of the laughter, the love, and the moments we gave.

We shared secrets and dreams,

And knew each other's strengths and schemes.

But life can be cruel and unpredictable,

And sometimes it takes away the irreplaceable.

The days feel longer, the nights are colder,

Without that person to lean on when we grow older.

The void they left can never be filled,

And the tears we shed are never stilled.

So let us honor our lost best friend,

And cherish the time we had until the end.

For they will always hold a special place,

In our hearts, our souls, and our embrace.
