You shared your light with someone special But they made you feel oh so terrible The support and love that you always bring so many people decided they didn’t need Now you’re here, sad and afraid Wishing so badly that they’d all stayed I can’t understand why people pushed you away I know it hurt you, but anyway I guess that means there’s more of you for me

You always look beautiful The way you dress, the way you are without even trying you always raise the bar

It’s not the words we say it’s that we’re now talking Before this, I was crawling But I’ve stood up and started walking

Dear Friend,

I know tonight you can’t keep it together I can hear you reciting reasons to carry on

You said something kind and I wrote it down so I’ll always remember how much I’m loved

I can’t see you now You’re too far away So I’ll have to do something to remember you

I love that you remember all of your mistakes and can’t stand to see them

This world is full of possibilities Of people that look different It's not enough to ignore them To say “Not my problem” They will still be there If you don't help them Will anyone else?

When we were kids Neither of us could've known All the ways you'd change and all the ways you'd grow

Bringing me comfort when I most need it Soft and warm, shielding me from a world so cold My eternal friends, always there You never judge, you never scold
