Riley Told Me

Riley told me she was tired
I asked why I was the one she admired
Riley told me I was the one who was here
the one who would always be near
Riley told me that her days were almost gone
I asked her why she wants me to go on
Riley told me that I will see you someday
I said someday is too long for me to wait
Riley told me goodbye with a tear falling down on her face
I asked her not to go for i cannot go on living this way
I told myself this is not worth living for i can't stand it
I fell apart each day bit by bit
I am gone where we rely on each other nowhere to go
All that  i really know is
Riley told me hello
