It seems as though every minute is a life changing moment.
One second, everything's ok; it's just an off day.
The next, there is death in the air.
I wish I could hold you forever,
Protect you from all the things you feared.
But instead, I felt your heart quit its beat.
I can't believe I still have tears left to cry.
I can't believe that I haven't shriveled up and died.
You're still floating in the air; in my clothes; you're everywhere.
My guardian angel, you were there.
You loved me, you cared.
You showed up when I need help, you had a halo
Now I've grown, so it's time for you to go home.
