"Never Forget", by Heather (First)
I never will forget beneath the tinted glass,
laid upon your heart,
the darkness left you all alone,
and tore your mind apart.
Remembering the days,
of happiness and fun,
made memories from the past,
by the slicing of your arms.
I never could have known,
the night I got that call,
they said that you had died,
and left without a fight.
No friend has ever meant,
as much to me as you,
I'm wondering now,
been wondering for days,
how I'm going to make it through.
We've seen and done it all,
no secret left unsaid,
through all the ups and downs,
but now they said you're dead.
I can't believe you've gone,
what's more it was your choice,
I'll never see your face again,
I'll never hear your voice.
Your beauty shone from inside out,
your heart so soft and warm,
you'd speak to me so sweetly,
the one friend I've always loved.
I always swore your smile,
was the sun in a disguise,
your laughter rings through my mind,
my heart feels so hollow and alone,
a wound that will not heal,
I sometimes wonder if you see me,
see this emptiness I feel.
Still everyday your name appears,
as if etched into my soul,
we swore that we were sisters,
and together we would grow old.
But you left me before I was 12
and now 2 years later I still can't let go.
But the hardest part is still yet to come,
now I must let you go.
Time continues to move on,
you understand I know.
Please save me a place in heaven,
a day to reminisce and play,
for you now hold the key,
to the memories we'll share that day.
I will always wonder,
why it didn't last.
Your soul flies with no restraints,
so peaceful and so free.
So I know that God was right,
and this was meant to be.
My love I send you,
though filled still with sorrow and grief,
your stay here meant so much to me ,
no matter how long or brief.
So fly to bright places and go without regret,
for all those memories in my heart,
I will never forget.
