I thought of you last night,
And I remembered the way
You used to smile and laugh
When you were happy inside.
The memories if your constant joy
And ability to make me smile
Had been almost completely forgotten,
And how truly sad it would be
If I were ever to forget you.
I pray that you are well,
And that the joy you brought to me
Is now being shared with others
So that they may know the happiness
Which comes to you so readily.
I just wanted you to know that
I thought of you last night,
And I cried.
