Never

The black of the night sky went on forever
The heat from the asphalt was little but strong
I will hear your screams but won’t hold u again… ever
I remember that night and how so much went wrong
It didn’t mean to start speeding, I did not mean to race
But the outcome was bleeding, from your beautiful face
I didn’t mean to scare you; I didn’t mean to make you cry
But then when they couldn’t repair you and said you would die, 
I realized I killed you; i'm your murderer, defeat
As I opened my eyes and saw your life on the street
I realized that I had innocent blood on my hands
Your life slipped through my fingers, like little grains of sand
I try to say it was an accident, and it wasn’t my fault
But I was responsible for my best friend’s assault
I was the driver, it was my stupid mistake
I could have slowed down, or stepped foot on the brake
But I kept going faster, and I just didn’t care
I thought I was daring as your screams rang through the air
I never thought this could happen, it is still so unreal
As I slammed on the brakes and heard the tires squeal,
I saw you get whipped, and thrashed all around
Then the car spun out and you did not make a sound
The windshield broke and you had glass in your skin
You just sat there and bled, what I’d done was a sin
I just prayed for a miracle and hoped for a chance
That you would somehow start breathing and give me a glance, 
That you would come back to me to be my best friend
We said we’d always be together beginning and end,
But I soon realized that you would never ever come back
And now with you gone, my life is completely off track
I will never forgive myself for what I have done
I lost my best friend; your life had only begun
If I only had listened you would be here right now
I wish I could go back and re-state our vow
Our vow of being best friends for the rest of forever
But now forever has ended… and I’m stuck living in never…
