It was his birthday yesterday.
another year passed by without adding another candle.
My friend, ill still never understand.


When you reached the ledge
Did you hesitate?
When you were falling
Did you think about everyone you left behind?
Your friends, your family and the one you claimed to love.
I guess those thoughts just werent enough?
Ill never know
I could never understand.

I want to call you a coward
But it takes guts to jump.
I want to call you.
But I know there's no line.
Maybe in time I'll see your light.
All in due time.
Coward, I know it wasn't your time.

Another birthday will pass.
Another year passed too fast.
I'll remember skipping school
I'll remember the days elapse.
I'll remember when we actually showed up for class.

Days end.
Like your life that cold night.



I'm sorry I wasn't there, my friend.
You are loved.
