I Luv Herfrds

Looked at the calender last night and realized that in 13 days it will be the first anniversary of my best friends death.
I couldn't sleep and a poem got started in my head, so I stayed up and wrote it.
My Friend
I still see you there
on that big gray horse
you always rode
A smile on your face
as for sheer pleasure
you always rode
I did tease you about
that horse you rode
You just smiled and
offered me a turn
I always turned you down
for that big gray of yours hurt
me once before
Now at this time
in my head it echos
forever more, your voice,
your laugh and your
teaching words
This loneliness that seems
to never end
I miss you everyday
Kelly my dear friend
The things that we did
the trips that we took
the burdens we shared
of horses, kids and trucks
and stories of the husbands
on how they drove us nuts
I don't know when it all changed
I just can't place a date of how
and when we went from being
friends to being sisters began
Was it that day the big gray
threw me and you popped my
shoulder back in?
Or did it start before before that time?
Or was it sometime after?
It matters not now when it began
but I'm glad it did begin
It is almost a year since you left
us and I still shed a tear
I still want to call you and ask
your advice, to hear your voice
again
There is no one who can replace
you in my life
For in that spot of my heart and soul
is a quiet spot for you and you alone
You were my first real friend and I
will miss you until we meet again
to do the rides we always planned,
but this time it will happen upon
some different land.
I miss you Kelly, my friend
