Grieving a loss

A friend ask, "why so blue?"
"It looks like you just 
lost your best friend."

"I'm grieving a loss," I said, 
"an oh so beautiful dream 
I once held so close 
to my heart has died

and I'm weak in the knees
and can bearly find 
the strength to go on,

for I know not which way to go,
or how I'd know when I got there." 

So I sit in this state of nothingness,
looking like I just lost my best friend,

for part of my dreams was of you,
becoming just that to me,
"my best friend."
