My Best Friend
I remember the day I met you, God must of planned it that day
It was in the children hospital, The day that Meagan passed away
You came to see Steven and Jill, If there was anything you could do
You knew that they were hurting, They loved Meagan so much too
As you and I were talking, I felt I had known you all my life
Even though you didn't know me, You never left my side
Over the years we became close, You were like a sister to me
I always knew I could count on you, Why did you have to leave
I wish you could come back, If only for one day
Theres so much I need to tell you, So much I want to say
I really miss you Lori, I miss our long talks on the phone
Life has changed so much for me, I feel so all alone
I had no way of knowing, When you left my house that day
It was the last time I would see you, I begged you to stay
You said needed to talk, But then you headed for the door
You hugged me, Kissed my forehead, You hadn't done that before
What was wrong Lori, What was bothering you
Didn't you think that I cared about what you were going through
You left me with so many questions, Your always on my mind
I guess I had taken for granted that we would talk another time
You helped me through so much in life, I learned a lot from you
You taught me to stand up for myself and to speak my mind too
I just can't put into words how much I miss you today
I guess your time on earth was done, If you could of you would of stayed
To me you are not really gone, Even though we are apart
A part of you will live on in me, I will carry you in my heart
