"For My Friend"
I never thought our story
Would end in silence.
You were the one who could make me laugh
Even when my world felt heavyβ
And now the world feels heavier
Because youβre not here to share it.
I wish you had told me
How deep the shadows had grown.
I would have stood beside you in the dark,
Lit a thousand candles if I had to,
Until you could see the dawn again.
You were more than your pain,
More than the storm that took you.
You were kindness,
You were joy,
You were the friend who made life brighter.
I carry you in the spaces between my breaths,
In the songs we used to sing,
In the inside jokes no one else would understand.
Your absence is a woundβ
But your love is a gift Iβll hold forever.
Rest now, my friend.
Iβll tell the world who you were,
So your light never fades.
