We were headed out for college unknown,
Two best friends caught in the worlds cyclone.
I held her hand, she caught my fall,
And nothing much else really mattered at all.
I knew what it meant when she shyed away,
She knew what happened on that awful day.
Secrets spilled of the darkest kind,
But she never really seemed to mind.
It's a lullaby,
She's a beautiful sight,
And I drift off to sleep most every night,
I close my eyes,
And wish for her,
The way that she smiled, the way that things were.
Love doesn't need a rhyme or reason to be,
This is the story of Tricia and Me.
We grew so close in a few short years,
I was her rock, she dried my tears.
I was hot like summer, she was cool like fall
And nothing much else really matters at all.
We loved so strong and laughed so hard,
I was her shield, she was my guard.
Sweeter then sugar, more precious then gold,
My Silly Goose, what a sight to behold!
It's a lullaby,
She's a beautiful sight,
And I drift off to sleep most every night.
I close my eyes,
And I wish for her,
The way that she smiled, the way that things were.
Love doesn't need a rhyme or reason to be,
This is the story of Tricia and Me.
We had a falling out and now she's gone,
Oh God how I wish I could change what went on.
I just want it back like it was before,
Bring back the girl that I adore!
She's my lullaby,
She's a beautiful sight,
When she is around everything is alright.
I close my eyes
and she takes me away,
I know it will happen one faithful day.
How I wish it could be like it used to be,
This is the story of Tricia and Me.
I held her hand, she caught my fall
And nothing much else really mattered at all...
Author notes
It is always devastating to lose your best friend, especially when you have known each other for over 10 years. Even though we don't call each other friend anymore, I still love her and am thankful for all the good time I had with her.
This piece was inspired by a song from Saving Jane

It sounds to me like all you have to do is go to her and say you are sorry for the things that went on and ask for forgiveness. I know this is easier said than done. A very nice way to wrap the whole thing together by repeating those two lines. Well done. Thanks for entering. Keep the ink flowing and good luck!
