Each Other's Light

Smiles and happy memories Laughing til we cry Silly things you'd say to me Learning how to fly A perfect summer spent with you Us riding in your car Being side by side those days Becoming who we are Walking in dark places We became each other's light The constant in a spinning world Made everything all right A bond that seemed unlikely To everyone we knew We are so very different That it surprised us too You taught me to be stronger By building on my strengths You pointed out the best in me While pushing to my lengths And in that way you changed me Alterations so complete That I can barely recognize Who I used to be I couldn't help but notice How you became so free Your smile was so infectious To everyone you'd see Such a precious chapter In the story of my life I'll hold on to it with all I am I'll carry you inside While struggling to let go of it Dealing with the change Knowing there's a reason But wanting things to be the same And while i'm sad its over I'm thankful that it was I was blessed to meet you In that i'll always trust
