This Is For You

Hold Still

I wish I'd knew you
Talked to you once in a lifetime
Told you not to go
Told you to hold on
Maybe the end of all this pain is near
Maybe you'll wake up in a better place tomorrow

I wish I'd knew you
Begged you to stay
Told you how good you are
And maybe better days are coming for you

I wish I'd knew you
But I only saw you once in December
And I wish you stayed
I wish you talked to me
Instead of running away
I wish you were here
So we can talk about it

I wish I'd knew you
So I could save you
But I didn't and you're gone
I hope you are in a better place
I hope you're happy now, and I know you are

I wish we could meet again so I'd make you stay one last time
And I wish I'd knew you.

for the boy who killed himself a day ago
May you find your peace.
