Why Can't You Be Here

~Why Can't You Be Here~

You left a few weeks ago
It's not right, me having to let you go.

Nothing is going to be the same
I almost cry when some one says your name.

You were my best friend forever
Like sisters; we were always together.

When I heard the news about you
I was speechless; not knowing what to do.

It wasn't supposed to happen like this
Everything was supposed to be happy with bliss.

We would talk for hours on end
Always knowing that in each other we had a true friend.

Girl, who can I talk to now
Talk to someone else; I don't know how.

I should have been there too
It should have been me, not you.

We were going to go to college together
We were always going to be together, forever.

You weren't supposed to get involved
I was gunna work things out, get everything solved.

Now because of me
you can't be here; together, you and me.

I was going to keep you safe
But I ran outa time; now I can't see your face.

I've got the memories; those aren't enough
Being happy without you will surely be tough.

I don't want to go on without you
But I know that's not what you would want me to do.

When someone asks, who is my best friend
Your name still is said; for you were a true friend.

I'll visit your grave
And I'll have to be very brave.

I'll be sad and upset
But everytime I look at the clouds, I'll feel content.

For I know friends always watch over each other
Even if we're seperated, and not together.

I'll always love you, you see
And forever in my heart is where you'll be.
