It's been a year since I last held you Since I last saw your smile Since I last felt your joy
I still think of you How you were always happy How you thought you were bigger than everyone else How you always took care of me
I can see your ghost When I come home to quiet When I wake up to no one there When I lie down and no one runs over to me
One year later I still cry for you I still love you I still miss you
When we met it was all so new But where I saw fear You saw hope
You said it'd be okay that no matter what, I was loved And I was glad
I have new friends Because you told me it was okay to accept them To let them help me
I got to know you I came to love you And for a time I got to have a best friend again
Now you're gone forever And all I've got left are my memories of you And the hope you gave me
I'll never forget you I'll use the lessons you taught me In your brief time in this world to help others like you
And in the end even though I cry every day I'm GLAD I met you and I wouldn't change it for the world
When I was asked to care for you I didn't think I'd be able to I had a lot going on But I still couldn't say no
You were excited or sleeping There was no in between Even when your energy was too much I still couldn't say no
For the innumerable times when you were there Exactly when I needed a friend Cuddling me when I was sad or sick I'm so glad I said yes
Even though you're gone And there's a hole in my life I look back on our time with love and joy Forever grateful that I said yes
The Happiest Puppers
(Told from the perspective of Skyeyes from Girl in Red)
You didn't know what was best You pushed me around like the rest Deceptive, condescending The secrets unending Determined to run my life Then leave me to deal with the strife Until everything fell apart I fell, weighed down by a broken heart When I thought everything was lost to me You held out your arms and caught me
(Told from the perspective of Brain from Girl in Red)
I used to believe in you You always knew what to do When the world was black as the night You held out your hand and said it's alright You said “I'm always here for you”
