Elegy

my dear you were the greatest of them all!
you knew the most
you loved the most
and you expected the least
you taught me everything i know
you gave me everything i have

dont fear, i will be with you soon
only time will tell
my heart will break
and so will i

i still can't believe youre gone
nothing will ever be the same
no one will ever give what you gave me
no one will ever teach what you taught me
and no one will ever love the way you loved me
i will never love another
