My whole world

I never thought I would see the day
that we would say goodbye
we grew up together
ever since kindergarten
we both came to believe
that we were related deep inside
we were so much alike

When we turned thirteen
everything began to change
you would always come to me
with tears in your eyes
you hated the way
your parents would fight
you wanted to run far away
but I kept you here

I said we would get through this
even if it took forever
cause I was here by your side
to help you in any way
to hold your hand
when things would get rough

We were fine up until that day
your parents divorced
and one of them would keep you
we both began to cry
thinking of where you would be
we prayed and prayed
that you would stay here

You came to me that day
crying your eyes out
you said you were leaving
but you didn't want to go
you fought to stay
but they wouldn't listen
they didn't care about that
the effect it would have on you
you wanted to run away again

I comforted you and held your hand
and then I cried with you
I didn't want you to leave either
but your mom came to get you
she grabbed your hand
and started to drag you away
I held on tight to you
not letting you go
we were both screaming
and crying pleading
for you to stay here

She wouldn't understand
and pulled on you hard
we lost our grip
and I fell to the ground
you kept reaching out to me
I got up and ran to you
but she put you in the car
I went up to the window
and put my hand up
you put yours on mine
the tears kept falling

I said I will never forget you
and no matter what happens
you will always be my best friend
you said you wouldn't forget me
and that I was your best friend
the car began to drive away
I stood there crying
then I began to chase you

Running as fast as I could
I saw your face in the back window
you were cring just as hard
I kept running after you
keeping you within my sight
not wanting to lose you
but the car sped away
and that was it
you were gone

I dropped to my knees
crying hopelessly
asking god why he took you
away from me
not knowing if would see you again
not letting me grow up with you
my best friend, my sister
my whole world
