Deathly Awakening

You sat in front of me, always with a smile
I've only known you for a little while
But you're gone, broken and smashed
Driven from this world when the car crashed

I didnt know you well - but I feel pain
You're life just begun and the paper: plain
You could have been anything, gone anywhere
Your whole life taken: how can fate be fair?

But still, I am scared, shaken and blue
Because it could have been me, not you
It could have been anyone's car that crashed
Anyone's life broken and smashed

A selfish thing to think - I know
But I cant help it - I'm sorry and so
It still doesnt change your fate
Or revive you from that deathly state

In your death - I have seen words so true
Death isn't stoppable by me or you
People die - old and young, healthy and ill
No one can beat it, no one will

We can only live as we should
To the full, if only you could...
It's unknown when anyone will die
And so there can be no goodbye

And I hate to say it - but it's true
Your death awakened me - told me what to do
Told me to live life to the full - do what I can do
It's sad that I didnt know before the world lost you...
