Letter To A Friend

Well darling,

We've had a good run, but our time has come to an end.
Today I dress in layers of black and white, for it is bittersweet to say goodbye.
Bitter, in the fact that I will be forever haunted by the question "why",
Sweet, knowing that you are with God, forever at peace
Bitter, in the fact that you have left this world shaken by the roots,
Sweet, saying that we know you are safe.
Bitter, that I never got to say "goodbye,"
Sweet, that this is only "see you later,"
The wind hugs me today, for you're at my side.
The sun shines because you don't want to see tears.
We know you're happy where you are, yet we're shaken.
This wasn't the only answer, and yet we have to accept it.
You're forever in our hearts, and minds.
Hopefully, you'll meet me at the gates and bring me home in the future.

Thankful the positives outweigh the negatives,
Sierra
