Looking Back (The Loss of a True Friend)

[Darling_Kenzie_Sees_Stars]

Looking back, I think of him

He who lost his life

I feel for his bearing sin

And know his choice wasn't right

 

I ask myself "what if?"

What if he never drank?

Could that have stopped it?

It's too unbearable to think...

 

He was my friend

The only one who could understand

I wish it weren't the end

Today he would have been a man

 

Looking back, I think of myself

Where I am now and where I was then

I think of his life beyond that point, as well

If it weren't the end

 

But it's the memories of him 

Something that can't fade

Everything happens for a reason

I know that now he is safe

 

It makes me know

That nothing is forever

And it shows

The "me" that is better
