How Do I Say Goodbye?

How do I say goodbye?
To someone I call friend.
How do I let you go
Without dying inside myself
Some one taken way before
Their time is due
How do I say goodbye
To some one I still have
So much to learn about
How do I be strong for you?
How do I stay sane for you?
How can I watch you fade away?
Knowing there is nothing I can do
To ease your pain, to ease your thoughts?
How do I say goodbye to you
My dear close friend
After all the laughs we shared?
After all the tears we wiped
After all the comfort we gave?
Please… someone tell me
How do I say goodbye?


I found out tonight that a close online friend of mine, Shannon, has been diagnosed with lung cancer.  And apparently.. things don't look good.  I ask all of you to please say a prayer for him.  Thank you.
