I knew that one day you would have to go

but I can’t help but long for the years of long ago

---

All those times of laughing smiles full of mischief and glee

two such happy innocent children were we

---

Those whispered secrets shared in the night

the stories and tales dreamt by flashlight

---

I knew when we stood hand in hand

that you would always understand

---

A loving spirit a kindred soul

a sister of my heart the second half of one whole

---

And even as I watch you walk into the rising sun

Even now I feel our hearts beating as one

---

I know that this is not our last goodbye

but I cannot hold back the tears that I cry

---

I know that I will see you once more

one day soon you’ll walk again through that door

---

And now as we go our separate ways

know that I will wait for you until the end of my days
