But I couldn't feel,
so was it real?
I wake to find the scabs -

They are sore and bruised and red,
I still wish I could go back,
to freeze a time in space,
where you were healthy, strong, by my side

Heart is heavy and lost,
I know you have to go,
But in leaving I don't want you lost,
I want to keep you as you were

Forever my friend,
Forever at my side to catch my tears,
My only hope is that I caught yours,
when you most needed a friend

xoxo
