30 years ago today we were both 5,
Living life to the full feeling so happy to be alive,
We both had a full head of hair,
But who'd of known back then it wouldn't always be there.
20 years ago today we would have both been 15,
Getting into all sorts of experiences i'm sure you know what i mean,
Hating school, liking girls, loving sleep, bad attitude,
But still loving life and hey we were never rude.
10 years ago today we was mid twenties all grown up,
Now at the stage that we home each other's favourite coffee cup,
We now got chores to do, kids to feed, cars to fix, bills to pay,
We didn't mind though as long as we could still have our chats everything was ok.
1 year ago today we were both 34,
Been through a lot of good and bad but looking forward to alot more,
Not one of us yet a millionaire like we discussed,
But hey we was still best friends so we wasn't really fussed.
3 months ago today we was both 35,
I'm still struggling to accept that its only me who is alive,
For it was only 3 months ago today,
My life long friend seemed to have lost his way.
3 months ago today our worlds with dramatically change,
Not having "us" anymore feels very very strange.
We will always help each other and neither of us were ever far away,
So why oh why couldn't i help you geez 3 months ago today?
What do they mean that the pain will get easier everyday?
I've never known this pain before but it got worse from 3 months today.
Since you been gone i've only had one dream about you,
It was the best dream ever us together again doing what we do,
I was so sad in the morning when i laid there awake,
Facing another day without you unsure how many more i can take.
1 year from today i'll be 36,
Still thinking how you not being here was something i couldn't fix,
Hoping this pain has now gone, Coming to terms with losing my number 1.
10 years from today i'll be mid 40s my kids are all grown up,
Would i have stop thinking about you geez would i still be drinking from your favourite coffee
cup?
20 years from today i'll be 55 my kids now looking after me i hope,
Sure i'll still be telling them all our stories sure i'd now learnt how to cope.
30 years from today i'll be 65 hopefully retired like we spoke about,
I'll probably always be visiting your gravestone geez just to get me out.
40 years from today i'll maybe now have reached 75 i'll now be looking forward to seeing you
again when my times up,
Not long now geez we'll be chatting and laughing again drinking from our favourite coffee cup.
