• So many years I spent
    Never truly seeing you
    I was dead, and you did not know
    My life was over, yet I was alive

    My eyes so clouded
    Guilt withering my soul
    And you heroically bearing
    The horrid brunt of it all

    You gave me that look
    Because you saw it in me;
    The pain and the sorrow
    And the potential as well

    When I awoke
    Like the dead made to walk
    When I began to breathe
    Through newly opened lungs
    You were gone,
    Whence I did not know
    And so my resurrection's joy
    Was not all-encompassing

    Still today I mourn you
    As you once mourned for me
    I'm sorry that I wasn't there
    To ease the pain of my own passing

    If you ever come back,
    If I see you again
    I will hold you forever
    My eternal best friend
