My eyes silently scan the room
Your tear stained cheeks are flushed with sorrow
I close my eyes and try not to cry right along with you

We sat there for hours...
Not one word fell from your lips
You just stared at me
Watching you watch every move I make
Constant stare downs...

I don't have an answer to this
How are you going to handle something like this
We're not ready to grow up

But sometimes we have no choice
We have to face the road in front of us
As hard as it may seem

I grabbed your hand....
I promised you...I'd never leave your side...
My best friend....
Your decision changed our lives
