For Trish

The smile that lights your face,
Has faded out of sight,
And when I look into your eyes,
I know that everything's not right.

I saw your pain, but you weren't fighting,
As she pressed upon your face,
Where were you? I can't find you,
Are you in another place?

Did you find what you were seeking?
Or are you coming back to stay?
The last time we were speaking,
I wish I'd known that I should say,

How very, very much I love you,
Though I know you know, for sure,
But I haven't said enough yet,
And I want to tell you so much more.

So come back and smile at me again,
If you feel as though you can,
But if you need to be with your angel,
You know that I'll still understand,

If you're here, if you're there,
Then you'll still be in my heart,
I want to say how much I love you,
But I don't know where to start.

You are family in a way,
That means so much more than blood,
And sometimes, when I was lonely,
I still knew you understood,

I don't know what I'd be without you,
And I don't want this to end,
You mean so much, there are no words,
But you're my family, my love, my friend.
