I Don't Want To Say Goodbye
In memory of Dopey(David Wayne Smith). I love you with all my heart.
Be in peace. 11/11/1977 -03/04/2010
The sun is shining to the envy of the sky
This is just another reason I find it hard to try
Today I got the news and I can only cry
I love you my brother, I don't want to say goodbye
I'll always remember the day, the first time that we met
My first day on the job I hadn't made a hire yet
I loved you from the start and I had to let you try
I love you my brother, I don't want to say goodbye
Now looking back at all the years and miles that we crossed
You loved the way it seemed that I never could get lost
Traveling the country ,we thought we'd never die
I love you my brother, I don't want to say goodbye
We had some wonderful times and some that werent so good
Made lots of money, partied hard and explored the sights we could
I remember how you would smile when you caught me in a lie
I love you my brother, I don't want to say goodbye.
How life likes to play it's tricks when we think that we are fine
I know you don't belong to me that I cannot call you mine
Dealing with this sense of loss I can only sigh
I love you my brother, I don't want to say goodbye
So here I am in Illinois and it's in Ohio that you lay
If I can close this distance by your bed I'll sit all day
People say it's all God will and I know it's all a lie
I love you my brother, I don't want to say goodbye
Mistake were made not just by you but many more by me
I wish that I could take your place if it would set you free
Please Dopey won't you come back, I really hope you'll try
I love you my brother, I don't want to say goodbye.
So here I sit writing this while my tears do flow
Terrified my phone will ring and tell me what I don't want to know
I really hope that you pull through, Please Dopey do not die
I love you my brother, I don't want to say goodbye

Hi,
I am sorry for your loss but your poem truly reflects a genuine bond.
I am so sorry to hear that you lost David. It must be hard for you. Hope that the good memories will stay in your heart:)
you said it all tight there
i can only give a glassy eyed stare
everyone really does care
your friend went to the sky
though we know not why
your pain will get better as time passes by
take care of yourself. i'm sure you have many reasons to keep going through life. all you have to do is read all of these comments and know one way or another you may have made another sister or brother. we are all here for you.
extremely well written,,,,, i am so sorry for your loss.... so sorry, god bless
The pain inside is greivous to be sure. This grief, although painful, will have band-aid from the passage of time, however the pain will still be there. May you be consoled in your time of loss as well as all the family - and, may his burdens now be made light.
I am with your friend, Hokey - it is really true friendship...
Hokey, may you be consoled to know that your genuine love for this cherished friend can never be unsubstantiated, and that this fact surely remains realized by his human spirit. Grieving your loss, take care.
My thoughts are with you... wish I could offer more. Keep on.
I am so sorry for your loss. Though you may disagree, no one truly dies. The spirit lives on and in this world they live on in our minds and hearts.
Namaste,
Deborah
Life is but a vapor
And only my pain can remain.
Please God ease the burden,
And soften the torrential rain.
My thoughts are with you during this time. This is a beautiful tribute.
"I wish that I could take your place if it would set you free"
he IS free ... x

I am sorry Hokey, I leave you the only way I know how, with the words of another word smith and a song.
"When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me too."
I wish I had the words to offer some comport, I feel helpless when all I want is to help you.
You are loved
Email me when you feel up to it
I'm sorry Hokey

No goodbyes, yes. Dopey will forever be in your heart, just like my brother is. We both lost our dear brothers, you in March, I in February, 2010. Not too long ago, but in God's time, we will be healed. Peace!
