i will miss you when you're gone
Dont ever assume your closest friend always knows how you feel.
Tell them before you lose that chance
Dont know why I was compeled to write this. Just felt she should know.
i will miss you when you're gone belongs to the following groups:
Friendly General Discussionso many people have come into my life
so many have made promises that werent kept
every person i have met has made a impact on me
helping me create the person i am today
when i met you a few years ago
we both had the same goal in mind
little did i know then
how important the role you would play
you are probably the only person in this world
who has truely believed in me
helped me, supported me with nothing expected in return
we both know when i have screwed up
rather then you leave me hanging
you have always been there with supporting words
me knowing what you really meant
but within your caring way you reassured me
my screw up was going to be ok
you have been the only one to see the potential i have
you have been the only one to just help without a word
you put the tools in my hand to improve and grow
coaching me along the way
so many promised things they didnt keep
so many just wanted to use the alledged talent i possess
you have been the only one who just did it
helped me with nothing asked in return
i have admired you for years
i know what type of friend i have in you
it’s the best feeling in the world to know
i can turn to you, and you know you can turn to me
and there isnt anything expected from either
just a friendship to hold dear
even when i say thank you
for all you have done for me
i can hear the awkwardness in your voice
telling me it’s ok
i would give anything for us to be closer
so many times ive wanted to call
say cmon lets go, there’s shooting to be done
as i wipe the tears from my face
knowing the loss one day to come
i know deep in my heart
there wont ever be anyone who can take your place
you might wonder why i write this now
but i needed you to know
before God takes his best angel up above
how much you are respected and loved
when we lose those special people in our lives
so many times we wish we had the time to tell them just as we feel
what better time then the present
then to show our love and dedication while they are still here
you are my guardian angel
you gave me something i have always needed in my life
the support of what i am capable of
you have made me confident and strong
you have helped me in ways so many have promised to do
not asking for anything in return
i am sure im not alone
with the honor that i feel
you have helped so many
and im sure they feel the way i do
so i felt this needed to be written
just so you know
that when it comes that time
when i have to face life without you and move on
i will miss you when you’re gone

Tremendous tribute Chris. This will probably touch this person to tears when reading this. Not sure if this is for your wife, girlfriend, or just friend, but you did a wonderful job with words here. Take care and I wish you the best on your difficulties in the near future.

Beautiful Chris …... there is a short prayer verse that this reminds me of. (Say it while you can) is the essence of the verse. I cannot remember it right now …. only small parts of it but what it is saying is to tell people that you love them while they are still here. You are saying this and letting them know what an impact they have made. ( gorgeous)
Earhart Chappe...

you only get one chance to say how you feel for the ‘last time’, and since you can’t predict the ‘last time’, then make all the times the ‘last time’
kinda the same thing as ‘you don’t know what you got until it’s gone’ Cinderella
well written my friend
Bonnie T. Barry
From deep in your heart, Chris; no friend could ask for a more sincere tribute. Bless you for writing this. And bless the good soul to whom it is addressed!

Sometimes this happens in life, not everyone is intended to stay throughout our lifetime, but they swing in, to help us resolve or learn the things we need to, and then move on as we do for others as well. It’s all part of destiny, isn’t it? I think you captured the whole essence of this with your poem Christopher and in a very moving way! There is a wonderful expression of gratitude and recognition in your words! Beautifully said….
Sheryl Kasper

Beautiful writing….......!

Christopher, what deeply felt words, what great, unforgettable thoughts, what a tribute to the person in your life. May your words echo within you for all times, once this person has left our world. May he/she live within you and allow you to connect whenever you need the closeness of his/her being. Life continues in some form … it is up to us to decide which one of those forms we choose. I am convinced you will find yours! I wish you this with all my heart!
Katrina De'Vries
