Where the Broken Go

Best Friends

She sat by his bed and closed her weary eyes

There wasn’t any time left

She knew it was time to say goodbye

But she could only hold her breath

How could she live with him gone

Her heart filled with so many fears

How would she go on

And carry through the empty years

Then he grabbed her hand

And asked her to understand

He said:

You got me through this life

Made me as strong as I am

And when you became my wife

You made me a happy man

It won’t be long, we’ll be together again

What’s an eternity without my best friend

A smile spread across her face

And she wiped away her tears

Though she could already feel that empty space

As the end neared

It was so hard to tell him goodbye

So hard to not show her pain

All she wanted to do was cry

To be back where they met, on that train

She just wanted to rewind

And go back to a simpler time

And she said:

You taught me to stand

When I wanted to fall

Now you want to take away the man

That made me this tall

Too, too long I’ll wait to be together again

I don’t want to lose my best friend

He slipped away with a tear in his eye

And she never got to tell him goodbye

But she knows it won’t be long

Yeah they say her method’s wrong

But she can’t wait to see him again

She can’t live without her best friend.
