Do you believe in a life for a life ?
Some say it's only fair.
"They say that a killer deserves to die!"
I had friend die at the ripe age of 14
Not by a person but
by a disease.
Tell me who should die for her sake ?
Died before she had a chance to be great.
It messed with me mentally
Cause I saw what she had the potential to be.
Strong willed, kind hearted and Intelligent.
Always knew what was relevant, forever dismissing the ignorance of those who were irrelevant.
The first year you were gone was the hardest.
Those days were some of my darkest.
Trying to keep you alive in my everyday,
Didn't want to cry, I wanted to be okay.
I wanted to be strong the way you always knew how to be.
I wanted to smile cause I knew you were looking down on me.
Here it is seven years later, and there's still no one that could ever take your place.
You're my forever friend, I can guarantee you that will never change.
I hope paradise is everything, you want it to be.
I hope you have a spot reserved just for me.
