Buddies Forever



I wish I would’ve been there more for you sis
Thanksgiving dinner, the last supper, I missed
we used to have many long talks on the phone
I know if you were here I wouldn’t feel alone
growing up, you told me we’d always be buddies
when my life was out of control you still loved me
you were always there for me, a shoulder to lean on
you never, ever judged me despite all I did wrong
I’ll never forgive myself for missing your burial
because I woke up too drunk after your funeral
it would have been dangerous for me to drive
three hundred miles in snow, would I have arrived?
all that really matters, now, is knowing you’re fine
the smile on your face I see every single time
you come to visit me from the other side
I know you see all of us that were left behind
you’ll be there to greet us all when it’s time
until then, my buddy, I’ll wait for your next visit
God willing, it’s soon, there’s no way I will miss it
