Real

Rest In Peace, Mike...

It's hard to lose a friend you love,
But harder to move on.
It's hard to help a friend in pain,
But harder when he's gone.

 

The pain, it never goes away,
But shrinks as time proceeds.
You focus more on what you want,
And less on what you need.

 

It's easy to let the hurt engulf
Your world and all your life.
Maybe you can't stand the loss
And all the ache and strife.

 

You're not the only one who's hurting;
Others lost him too.
Don't feel alone and helpless
If you don't know what to do.

 

You think that no one understands
The pain you feel inside,
But don't let yourself stop living
Because you're not the one who died.

 

The pain will come and it will pass,
Eternal hurt will heal.
You'll learn that although the feeling leaves,
The pain, no doubt, was real.
