On the day when the entire world celebrates love, this year will not be the same,
I will be thinking of you, knowing you are no longer in pain.
I want to ask God why he took you from us so soon,
After losing such a beautiful soul, I am left broken and confused.
You were my “no matter what” and I was yours,
We were the only ones who understood what the other endured.
I will be forever grateful for the time I got to spend with you,
For true friendship like ours was rare in this life we must all go through.
Valentine’s Day can be for both lovers and friends,
I will celebrate your life as I am thankful to have known you until the end.
With all the beauty blooming in the air this month surrounded by pretty colors,
I will be honoring your memory as the one who would always be there for others.
You will eternally hold a special place in my heart,
Our friendship was a bond where the light conquered the dark.
I am beyond blessed for the moments I got to share with you,
Knowing you for the time I did was truly a dream come true.
