I don't know how my story will end.
I didn't know yours either
But I had my guesses
I tried to save you
I didn't leave you
You left me
Understand?
You went down a dark road, my friend
Everybody does sometime
But you couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel like I could.
And I truly am sorry you didn't see the light
You were a good human being
No matter what your "sins" were
You never did believe in Heaven or Hell
And I frankly I don't know what to believe.
But I do know one thing
You didn't leave.
You're still here
I can feel it
When the temperature drops in the room
Or when something is moved
Or when I hear your voice whispering to me
I'm sorry I can't make out the words
I believe something or someone gave you a choice to stay or go
You stayed
You always said you would go down fighting
And you did
When that man held a gun to my head
I can tell you I wasn't afraid
I had accepted my life would end in those moments
But yours did instead
At the barrel of a gun
I took two shots to bring you to your knees.
And I put four in his chest
For you.
Ambulance didn't get there in time
Like I said it would
You knew that though
Didn't you?
Once those sliver bullets cut into you
You knew
You wouldn't be coming back
Red.
Stained my hands
As I was by your side.
You always said
"I don't know where I'll end up Heaven, Hell, Purgatory or six feet under, but it'll be where I'm meant to be"
So my friend
I hope your okay where you are
Hell I know you're okay
And next time I see you
Remind me to kick your ass
For I didn't ask you to give your life for mine
Your family
Your a brother to me
Family ain't about blood, it's about having each other's backs"
So let's have fun and raise a little hell, huh?
You walk your path, my friend
And I'll walk mine
We'll meet again because our paths intertwine.
