No one knew
I’d never told them.
They had all thought,
That you were just a friend.

But you were more than that.

I remember when I heard,
Those two little words
That ended your life
Before I could say goodbye.

I remember you falling,
My heart breaking
And never, had I felt
Pain like that.

I lie in this bed
My family around me
And I am reminded of you
How you’d sneak in during the night

To make sure that I was okay.
And as they stand around me
I am reminded of how
I am without you.

They don’t understand how I feel.
We loved each other, they never knew.
They thought we were just friends.

But you were more than that.

They will look at me with pity when they find out.
But my heart will still be
Broken in two.

Because I am here
Without you and I know
You are never coming back.

So I smile, a tear rolling down my cheek
And I whisper the words,
“Goodbye Cedric. I love you.”

Because you were more
Than just a friend.
