I don't understand
Why you had to go away,
I wasn't done,
I had much more to say.

There were so many things
I wanted to share with you,
So many things,
Left for us to do.

I should've made you talk,
I should've seen through your tears,
I should've been there,
To comfort and calm your fears.

You were my strength,
But I feel I let you down,
Oh what I'd give,
To have you around.

But it's too late,
You're gone now, my friend,
But always know in your heart,
I loved you until the end.
