I met you
When I was
Young
Before I
Knew
Anything
Before I
Discovered
The ugly
Truth
You grew up
With me
So I never felt
Apart
You held a special place
In my heart
I thought you
Would always be
Here
I try to hold you
Close to me
But it is hard when
You are falling
Being pulled away
And I miss
You

I guess I always
Knew
That one day
We would take our
Different paths
But
I never imagined
Never thought
That far ahead
People tell me to
Give up
To close my door
To turn off the light
That you are gone
Moved away
Not coming
Back
But you are like
My family
I will always
Hope for you
My light is on for
You
Forever
