Soul Sister

“Best friends until the end”

But the end came sooner than I thought

I wish I could have saved you

Given you what you sought

I wish I could have kept you

From the hurt and all the pain

The only thing I look forward to these days 

Is seeing you again

I know that you were tired

And you felt there was no other choice

But god, what I would give

To just once more hear your voice

I hope that it’s not selfish

To love someone so much

To want to bring them back

Just to feel their touch

To hear that voice of reason

That would speak the honest truth

You didn’t deserve to go so soon

In the prime time of your youth

The world was so unkind to you

Such a gentle and loving soul

You didn’t deserve any of it,

Your heart was made of gold

The first one to teach me

Unconditional love

I promise to return it

Be it from Earth or up above

Wherever you may be, 

I hope that you’re at peace

That’s all I’ve ever wanted for you

Is to feel safe and be at ease

I still feel you in spirit

Holding my hand, guiding me through

I hope you know that if it were me, 

I would do the same for you

For a friendship like this lasts forever

And forever I will wait 

Just please be there waiting for me

When I arrive at the gate

I hope that you can hear me

On the days I can muster to speak

It’s just something about this loss of you

It hurts me, makes me weak

I long for more adventures,

New memories and photos

I never did take enough

But I guess that’s just how life goes

Moments are fleeting

Never cherished enough

Until it’s too late

And the going gets rough

Now all I have is the past

Precious images in my head

Of you and I together 

Before my heart and soul was shred

Before I lost you

Before I lost my world

Never forget what you told me

“You’ll always be my girl”
