Why couldnt you...

~ i wrote and dedicate this poem for my close friend Rae... babe I'm here for you no matter what and i hope you like this~

why couldn't you stay here
and watch me go through school?
why couldn't you stay here
and help me swim in our pool?

why couldn't you stay here
and help me go through life?
why couldn't you stay here
and try to help your wife?

why couldn't you stay here
and tuck me in at night?
why couldn't you stay here
to tell me if I'm right?

why couldn't you stay here
to help me in my time of need?
why couldn't you stay here ?
cuz when you left,
you planted a seed.

there is a seed of emptiness
that lays inside of my heart
and that seed of emptiness
is the thing that plays a big part

so now i all grown up
and Ive changed a lot since then
and maybe when i got to heaven
I'll be able to see you again.
