Reflections Poem by Ray Hansell

I hope you know I'll always care
About what happens to you
I'll always wish you great success
In whatever you chance to do

I know that our journey
Ended years ago
But some feelings that I have
I thought that you should know

Most times I express myself
Better, with the written word
I know that some things I write
From me, will never be heard

I always believed that you and I
Would travel through life together
I always believed that through the years
What we had would only get better

But I guess there were times I didn't say
Things that I should have said
Only now do I realize
How much I really dread

I miss the nights we shared together
Laying side by side
I miss the times of being close
Sharing the love we'd never hide

So much for me has come and gone
Since those happy days
I honestly do miss them
In about a hundred different ways

But through it all it's safe to say
We've never reached the end
Here we are years down the road
Still, we remain friends
