Dear Best Friend Poem by Cassandra Hooper

Dear best friend
How have you been
Are you having fun
Up in heaven?
Are the angels nice?
Are you doing alright?
I swear I heard your voice
Sometime last night
I start to think
It’s almost been a year
And this single thought
Is what starts the tears
I miss your smile
All the things you used to say
Hanging out in history had always been
The highlight of my day
But then the day came along
When I didn’t see your face
Sitting behind your empty chair
I felt so out of place
And here we are
Just a month away
From when we lost you
From that day in May
It’s been hard
To get through this whole year
You were the one I always talked to
The one who killed my fear
But things are getting better I guess
You’re still always on my mind
Even though you’re not coming back
I’ll never leave you behind
