Why is it that we have people close to us die?
Why do we feel helpless and all we can do is cry?
Why do we always have to part?
Why is it when a friend dies, it leaves an empty space in our heart?
You grow close to someone and they are no longer there,
It kind of always makes realize that life isn't always fair.
It is hard to picture them in heaven above,
It is even harder picturing them them as an angel that is gentle as a dove.
We are always told that we should be strong,
Everyday it gets harder and harder to stay so long.
They tell us that we will see them again soon enough,
When it comes to something like this it's hard to call their bluff.
It is really hard when you have to let them go,
All that you can think about is how you want it not to be so.
You get to the point that you don't know what to do,
All that you can do is wish that it is not true.
You know that they will never be far away,
At least your memory for them will always be here to stay.
