We were talking late that night
Just you and I alone
Your day wasn't all that good I hear
Through the sobbing and the moans

I tried my best to help you out
It was only a warning sign
Little did I know that you
Had your life upon the line

The talk we had ended far beyond
the length of time we talk for
You hung up quick and blocked me out
yet I yearn to talk some more

I went to a party the following night
My problems I did forget
That was until I got the news
the timer had been set

I raced as fast as I could
To see by best all time mate
I found you in a quivering heap
I'm afraid I was too late

Soon after the others arrived
Hurried to our sides
Bit by bit your life ebbed away
Ebbed just like the tides

I held onto you tightly
my grip I would not release
You opens your eyes and muttered
That for once you would have peace

My grip got even tighter
Tears rolled down my cheeks
I was blind not to see at all
What you had experienced these past few weeks

I released my grip as
a soft hand brushed my face
I put you upon your bed as
the chemicals ran their race

I asked to be alone with you
My friends were persistent
Finally they got to leave
And you were getting distant

I sat beside you and looked at you
Asked you why you had done this
Your strength was fleeting but
you had enough to move in for a kiss

I could stop the tears now
Nor could you if we tried
you said it would be easier on us
on yourself if you died

I pressed my forehead against your own
our embrace was soft like goo
Over and over I said to myself
"This just cannot be true"

Pure whiteness surrounds you now
In coffin and in flower
I'll miss you now my dearest friend
My life has just turned sour

I thought about it every night
Since I lost you in my arms
I reached for you all through that time
like leaves upon the palms

Since then the times I have grabbed knives
I've found them pointed toward my chest
My friends and yours stopped me every time
Like you I wanted rest

The past no longer matters now
I'm here and you are dead
It will stay with me throughout my life
Everything that you said

As I leave I turn again
To gaze upon your corpse
You said you'd attend my funeral
We had laughed about it in our talks

My friends are here, they comfort me
I am beginning my life anew
No matter what I think or say
I will always be missing you

Sorry about the punctuation, but I'm not really that happy right now...
