#notnexttime
They said not next time
And no goodbyes
It took me by shock
And surprise
I was frozen in that moment
I thought if I could just hold it
All together
We would be fine
And I would be able to see one more time
It’s crazy to think
All I want is an hour with my family
And I play by all the rules
But i always lose
You were the sunshine
After thunder and lightning
You were the air in my lungs
The warmth in my bones
After almost drowning
And in 2 minutes, that was stolen
And they said not next time
And no goodbyes
And even then i played by the rules
And when they told me to stop crying
I held in my cries
I guess I hoped they would see
That it wasn’t me
And they would give us a chance to just speak
But they held firm
And said not next time
And no goodbyes
You’ve always broken the rules
And called people fools
When they told you what to do
So you knocked on my window
And you pulled me through
As I cried
And sobbed your name
You kissed me twice on the cheek
But all that was done in vain
Because there are five words I didn’t get to say though
I love you big bro
