Dearest Friend

They told me time was of the essence
Like the sentiments we mumble while we count away our seconds
And life was moving faster than death was ever expected
Till it showed up uninvited and left us alone with less friends...
Too many times I know I've felt this kind of stress before
So many answers that I still don't have the questions for
I drain the bottle now until there's nothing left to pour and beat my broken heart against my ribs until my chest is sore
I'm in denial and alone
Like how I wanna hear your voice and try to dial up your phone and I can't smoke away this pain you see me hiding in my bones
It'd be a lie to say I even fuckin smile when I'm stoned but
You can't replace the irreplaceable
The same way you can't evade the unescapable
I know you're gone but they can't take away an angel's soul I hope you're watching over I just wish there was a way to know

Dearest friend
You're gone but not forgotten
In these memories you left me to get lost in more than often
I'm reminded of the price we pay for loss and what it costed
You're path became my own when I was lost enough to cross it...
And you were just as scarred up as I was
Burning bright
The same way a falling star from the sky does
We helped each other finally put the hardship behind us
So easy to hate the world but it makes it harder to find love...
I know I could've been a better friend and I still wish I had the chances that I'll never get again
You always had my back until the motherfuckin end
That's why you're still alive inside of mine and all I've ever been but
You can't replace the irreplaceable
The same way you can't evade the unescapable
I know you're gone but they can't take away your angel's soul I hope you're watching over I just wish there was a way to know

Thanks for the love you've given and lives that you left inspired by it
For your heart of gold and the times that I tried to idolize it
For every moment I lost faith
You revitalized it
You left a light that will shine forever
Alive and vibrant
You gave me strength when I was helpless
The definition of love for the one who had never felt it
Thanks for giving yourself in a way that was so selfless
Thank you for still believing in me when nobody else did...
And I can see you in heaven now
Laughing at all your haters who try to call you a legend now
You'll be my family forever so don't you ever doubt that I love you and I wrote this out of love so I could let it out but
You can't replace the irreplaceable
The same way you can't evade the unescapable
I know you're gone but they can't take away an angel's soul I hope you're watching over I just wish there was a way to know
