You are beloved, mate of my brother
staying with him as no one else could
your love surviving the end we saw coming
surviving yourself, remembering the good
I pull away now as you're with another
promising safety that you've never known
the bond that we share a painful reminder
death holds immortal what he'll never own
How do we honor the journey we've traveled
though seemingly over it streams underground
I can't see the path that allows safe communion
I pray from afar that it's joy that you've found
