Watching the leaves fall

Standing so tall

Waiting at the window

I still wonder

It wasn't so long ago

 

I can still see us

Haunting shadows in the dusk

Running, fighting, climbing

Making footprints in the snow

 

Your furry figure lingers at the edges of my mind

Gone but not forgotten

Your smile runs to hide

 

Sunny days fade away

As your ghost lies still

Could I not come with you beyond that doomed hill?

 

Still trying to remember to forget

Our years together

Brothers, neighbours, friends

As our Sun finally sets

 

But I wait in hope

To see my friend

As the snow falls again
