lost at sea

and the world would crash
and burn
when my love is gone,
when he can no longer be here for me,
and i have no choice but to keep
moving forward,

but how can you say that
when i lose a friend?
a person who used to know you like the back of their hand,
is now at a distance
no flight could ever take you,
and if you decide to ride by ship,
the storm and deadly waves will greet you,
the distance is never by land,
it's always been this deep, heavy, and sinking feeling,

how do you move on after losing a friend?
