i've been waiting for it to show its face in my life
for me to recognize its face
and i've been waiting for it to make me cry
for me to recognize its pain
i have seen others who have seen its face
i have seen it appear close by but ever so far
but never has it made me truly cry for the loss
and never have i been so shocked by it
i sent a card of season's greeting and happy new year
i received a letter of out-of-the-blue loss and sorrow
a friend from high school never too close but always dear
a missed reunion and now regrets and tears
i wonder why the recognition causes my tears to flow
i wonder why i feel the pain
for finally, it knocks on the door of my life
and warns me of the sorrow to come
so death finally knocks...
and tells me to live life...
now.
