You took

You walked into my life one day,

I thought the choice was mine to make.

But foolish me, you chose us all,

A bond that time could never break.

You took my laughter and my smiles,

You took my peaceful hours of sleep.

You took some kindness from my soul,

A memory for you to keep.

You took my worries and my fears,

You also took some sadness, too.

You took a piece from each of us,

When we were forced to part with you.

You took so much when you moved on,

But left behind a better me.

I miss you, Drago, my old friend,

I hope you’re resting peacefully.
