Imagine

Imagine a friend being there for you 
While they were dealing with their own demons? 
Imagine a friend answering your every call, your every text, talking you through every scenario you threw their way, while it was there down season? 
Where they felt as if they were living inside a box 
Suffocating without a key to a lock 

Imagine that friend being there for you
But you were so consumed with your own view 
You did not notice, even with all the clues 
As they smiled to fix you when were down and blue 
They were always there supporting to make sure you grew and pursued 

Imagine that friend not answering your call or text today 
As they were dealing with something serious that they constantly displayed 
An you started to get angry while they were away 
Not realizing that they would not make it through the day 

Imagine when you see your friend, their face is plastered on the news 
Another person posted as a number, as their story concludes 
Losing their battle on a Sunday afternoon 

Imagine you thinking your friend left you with nothing but pain 
But that was never their intention, as they were completely drowning and drained 
But they left you a gift to be felt not explained 
The light that they passed to you can be felt with your every vein
The time that they spent with you is not to be taken lightly as it was never a game 
To realize your potential and the life you could obtain
And even if they are not present, in your heart they will always remain
