I remember back then,
I had a friend
Her sister is dead,
She was 18
She had blond hair and liked to bake
She made us cookies and bread
She took my friend and I to the park to play
And now she is dead
She died of overdose
And thats not even the worse
I am now 19.
I am a year older than she was
I graduated her high school.
She never did
I passed the spot her dead body was found 957 times.
Thats three years of school.
She only had two and a half.
I always thought she was cool
I guess at the end she was a fool.
But I leaved more than she did
I saw my friend yesterday.
She moved away.
Her mother had another daughter.
She had her with another mister.
She named her after the dead.
I guess it got in her head
My friend had blond hair.
Now she has black
She looked like her sister
Now she looks sad.
She is 19.
She is now a year older than her sister ever was.
We were just kids then.
Now we are adults.
But she didn't get to be either.
And this is for her.
Today she would've been twenty six.
Do they still celebrate her birthday?
