10 years
I remember well all that past that day
I remember feeling the sickening of decay
The tears shining bright in our teacher's eyes
And our supposed friend telling lonely lies
I remember hearing questions pop up here and there
And I remember thinking 'this is way too much to bare'
I was told to go on with morning, take count, and be well
But then thw teacher told us, and that's when I fell
"Last night there was an accident, and your friend so dear
Was not wearing a seatbelt, and is dead, I fear"
My knees gave out, my heart stuttered, and my breathing stopped
I nearly hit the floor before I was caught
My teacher said "it's alright. She's up in Heaven now"
But I just talked to her yesterday, so tell me when, where, and how
Her mother was drunk driving, going bar to bar
That's when she fell asleep and lost control of the car
The car flipped upside down, and Whitney hit her head
She broke her neck, went through the windshield, and was instantly dead
They kept saying she felt no pain, they kept saying time would heal
But they don?t know what I went through, they don't know how I feel
Every time I closed my eyes, I could see the crash
Even when I blinked, there was a little flash
So many nights there were that I cried myself to sleep
And even now at night, there are still some tears that seep
I can't believe she's gone, even still to this day
She'd be 21 in June, and she is why I prey
