For You


Every time I think about getting into a car I always think I am going very far And yet sometimes the ride is short It seems like yesterday that we were in cohorts You with your easy going smile You with your little energy so wild You with your nicknames driving me crazy You and I - just being lazy It doesn't seem fair that you are gone Life came by and stole your song So what I am supposed to do without my friend? What am I supposed to do now that we've come to the end? I walk along the beach where we met so long ago And I know this obstacle I face will help me grow I miss you so much and yet now I know This is why you had to die - so that I could grow Now everything I ever say or do Will be a reminder to me of you You didn't get to do all the things you wanted to do But you did the best you could - now I will too I won't ever forget being your friend This isn't the end, just the beginning And so I hope you are okay wherever you are Now I have a reason to look to the stars And I promise you that I will try my very best Because you will be watching me as I try to pass the tests Stay with me as you did when you were alive I do things with you in mind Don't ever forget your special starfish here on earth okay ? Now it is time to live another day
