You left footprints on my heart

You're my bestfriend and you passed away, I feel saudade. 
But our friendship will never fade.
A part of me die when you departed.
But our memories still live, since we've parted.

If I can turn back time, we will laugh like there's no tomorrow.
Lean on each shoulders and sharing our sorrow.
Telling secrets and accepting each other as we are.
Holding to one another even in life's great mystery and bizarre.

Like a blink of an eye, you're gone and I bereaved.
But I should be strong even I'm in grieved.
God take you home, till we meet again and this is not a goodbye.
I may not see your face, but I know you are just nearby.
Though you're distant like a moon but you're just watching above.
You left footprints on my heart, my friend and my beloved.

Thank you so much. I compose this poem when my bestfriend died years ago. I also share it to other websites but i stop composing poems & i decided to continue it now. Late response coz i'm a newbie here. You are also from Philippines? Nice meeting you kabayan and you are also a Christian. God bless you. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
