WE COULD HAVE LASTED

The day I met you, I found a friend 

And a friendship that I pray would never end.

you were by my side through it all,

you were there to catch me when i fall.

you told me the truth, even if it was not what i wanted to hear,

you were always there with a hug and a listening ear.

You were my best friend, you belong in my heart,

We went through ups and downs, but still nothing could tear us apart.

I knew you as a sister, and I will always care,

Love, respect, and trust are the things we shared.

You helped me learn to love myself

You made life seem so good.

You said I can do anything I put my mind to

And suddenly I knew I could.

You were always there for me,

I knew I could count on you.

You gave me advice and encouragement

Whenever I didn't know what to do.

but then i watch you walk away from me

And the tears start to fall,

I ask myself a billion times

How did we lose it all?

For the first time I had no words

that to you I could say,

I clanged on to old memories

while I watched you walk away.

I remember the time not long ago

When we laughed and shared it all,

were we the very soul sisters?

Or at least that's what I thought.

now i glance back to take a last look

to see me as a part of your past,

forgotten friendships buried

never meant to last...
