Goodnight

We bade each other goodnite and then we parted
In the mornin though you were no where to be found
i have searched and searched but to no avail
I ignore the voices in my head that tell me you are gone
cos i still see your face and hear your voice
If only you would stop this joke and come out of hiding
But as the moments pass and turn into days
And the days com and go and turn into months
I grow weary of my unfruitful search for you
And in my head the voices grow louder 'you are gone'
I dont want to believe but am left with no choice
I stop my search, and then i find you
I find you in the face of the man driving past,
I find you on the face of the woman stepping out of her house.
It is true you are gone but still you are here
Here in my heart, where you will always have a place,
Cos people like you never really leave
Because of who you were, you will always be remembered,
A friend, a mentor, a confidant, a partner,
A shield, A comfort, a companion... is who you were,
Even now i refuse to say goodbye,
But rather wait till the "morning" comes
Because Goodnite is where we left off.
