Gone But Not Forgotten

By Kendall Wolf

I knew you as a lad or lass
We played together, we went to class
And as the years did move along
We grew together straight and strong
During those important years
We shared our hopes and dreams and fears

We graduated and moved away
We lost touch, as life got in the way
Well, now you’re gone, i’m left behind
You left me, but not my mind

Now you’re gone, you did depart
You left me, but not my heart
You’re gone but not forgotten, for you see
You’ve always been a part of me
