We can be secret, we can be fun
We could laugh and play under the burning sun
Where we forget all those problems of everyday life
And simply be friends for a moment in time

One that will be forgotten someday,
Yet one that in my heart will stay
We are friends, you and I
The best of friends under a bright blue sky

When you cry, I cry too
Even if I don't show it to you
I'm always worried, so I try to stay away
If only that would work for a day

I care for you too much
To just simply let you go
Yet I must, some how, someday
Will you forget me and turn me away?

We are friends even now, even still
Remember how we used to play on that grassy hill
Those were the best times I've ever had
And even though I never told you, really I was glad
To be by your side another moment, another day
Wishing time would stop for us in some day

But you aren't here anymore, you went with him
Even though he hurt you, and I knew how deep you were in
But still, I said nothing, cause I didn't want to hurt you
I didn't want to see you in any more pain then you needed to
Be right by my side, the whole way through
Remember the promise we made to eachother, that day in the woods

Where we'd always look out for eachother no matter what
Gosh, those were the days huh.
So now I'm standing by your grave, telling you not to cry
I'll be fine, just wait and see how sunny I can make the world for you
And even though I never said it, I really did love you

Don't cry tonight, I'll be fine,
If you do, know I'll wipe the tears off your cheeks
It's not good when a pretty girl's tears leak
From her eyes, when she can't stop crying

So don't be afraid, I'm always with you,
I still remember the promise, and I'm still in love with you
I know I've said this before, at one time or another
But I would love to be your friend, to walk with you under the cover of night
Where we'd see all those pretty starlights
The ones you used to tell me were gold
Yet even so, I was loving how I was told

So many times, that we'd be together, if not in this life, then in the next and the other
It's still true, the way I feel, and I'll be here until the morning, to make sure you're safe
I remember you hated those stormy nights, where I'd safely keep you warm
And tell you everything will be alright in the morn

Just remember, nee-san
Big bro's watching out for you
He's a little more grown up though,
Tomorrow's time for that special show

The one I was gonna take you to see
When you smiled and said you loved me
I'll be thinking of you the whole way through
And don't forget, I'll always love you.

So when the moon is out and the stars are twinkling, I'll wave to you and know you're listening
My sister, my friend, always special to the end.
You're in my heart, and I'll never forget
To keep you safe and warm at night
You're in my heart, and you're my light.
Sleep well, sleep tight..



21.

Love who you want to.

~Josh~

You really meant that, didn't you?

Is this you wanted to talk about when you wrote "I'm gonna go to sleep now. Talk to you tomorrow." ???

Josh, nice to see you writing again. I liked this one very much.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Washington Irving
