Tips For Safe Travels
(专辑: Lessons That We Swear To Keep - 2023)
We had spent a
month apart, I
was so excited To be welcomed back home by your face Receiving FaceTimes, photos and videos Would let me know you were staying safe They would make me admire the
bravery displayed When you carried on each day without slowing down your pace I
can't explain how proud it made me, to see you're doing great I
was on my way back home, our reunion was so close I
couldn't wait I
knew you hadn't been quite well for a
while But you never lost the
ability to get me to smile Through the
surgery and losing hair You were always there when I
needed you And that never changed When I
arrived, you greeted me with love We spent the
entire day hanging out, I
had missed this so much It was good to be back, I
knew that you could tell It was like I
held my breath for a
month and I
could finally exhale You fell asleep while watching tv, I
drifted as well The
next day, I
could see that you didn't feel like yourself That night we drove you to the
hospital, I
thought that you'd be fine Then they came and brought us back, and told us that it was your time I'll never forget how you were staring at me I
could tell you were scared. I
tried to stay on my feet. I
put my hand on your face and said I'm not gonna leave That I
would see it through with you, because you'd it for me As I
tried not to cry, you tried one last time to speak I
watched the
life leave your eyes and I
collapsed to my knees I
felt my whole world was over, I
was so crushed by grief I
found the
smallest bit of refuge in the
fact you're at peace I
still celebrate your birthday I
see you sometimes when I
blink I
know that somewhere you're out there Watching me from the
brink When I
was down you picked me up You showed me that I
could be loved Every single second spent with you was more than enough Safe travels, I
will always be your home
