To my friend in heaven

A few months back I lost a best friend, a sister, a true friend to a car accident. She was 19 years old. This is for her.

Grief kicks in when I think of how you died
Sudden with not one chance to say goodbye
Closing your eyes while I was opening mine
How is it fair that I live and you die?

19 years old with a plan to be great
You were coming to ISU & needed a roommate
Dreams, aspirations, hopes filled your mind
But eternal life with God you decided to sign
How is it fair that I live and your life decline?

I feel selfish when I began to cry
Head raised to the sky and began to ask why
Why did you have to go so far away
How is it fair that you leave and I get to stay?

I don’t think we’re too far apart
When I think of you I know you’re in my heart
When tomorrow starts without you again
Just know I’ll always remember you my friend
How is any of this fair? I just can’t win

I know this feeling too well, I have lost many people in my life.
You expressed your feelings well. I lost my best friend and over half
of my family. Take care...
