I once knew this guy
Who would soon be my friend
I didn’t know him well
But I knew he wanted his life to end
He tried so hard
And couldn’t get by
It seemed to get harder
All the facts were just lies
He made all the wrong decisions
He tripped over every stone
Traveled down the wrong paths
Everything he knew became unknown.
On the inside he was crying
He dreaded waking each day
But every time he cried
No smiles came his way
As his hope ran out
His tears ran dry
All his dreams were shot down
In his mind he’d never fly.
He’d never see the stars
Shooting across the sky
He’d never be the one to be loved
He was just some guy
One day he decided
He didn’t want to be here anymore
He emptied out his locker
Re-opened every wound he had torn
He went to walk home
His eyes never leaving the ground
He thought of who’d he say goodbye to
To whom he never frowned
It was then he realized
He had no one, he was alone
He had no one to smile to
Love he had never known
I then happened to collide with him
Knocked him to the ground
The funny thing was though
He just got up without a frown
He stared at my sick face
And looked away
Seeing my hairless head
I let him think what he may
We started to talk
And laugh and play
But little did I know
That I saved his life that day
He only told me of his dreams
And his fantasies of the sky
And he never told me
That night he was planning to die
At my funeral he laughed
As he choked back tears
And the only thing he could say
Was how I had become so dear
He said
“She was my very best friend
She helped me in every way
And I never told her
That she saved my life that day
I told her how I wanted to fly
She just laughed and said you better try
And in her final words she said
The words I’ll know all my life
As she lied there in that hospital bed
Trying to fight the cancer that took her life
She said
'I helped so many people
Gave back so many lives
And I’m glad I met you friend
For now I’m glad
That I have you to hold
In the final minutes of my life
I must go now, my friend
But I’ll be here with you forever more
And when I get my wings my friend
Into the sky I will soar
I will fly high
But leave my love behind
Because even though I’ll be gone soon
My heart will help you fly.'"
