Today

When my best friend went away, I felt I wanted to cry.
When people asked if I was okay, I told them all a lie.

I thought she's too young to die,
But she left me anyway,
Sometimes I wonder silently;
What would she be like today?

I know my time is limited until my life will end.
I try not to live with bad thoughts,
But I've always lost my friends.

Everyone's left me through my life,
And they don't always say goodbye.
And each time that I lose someone,
I curl up and want to cry.

I try to be a better person, to make people want to stay.
I love my friends with all my heart,
And I don't want them to go away.

Naturally, I know they have to go,
And I'll see them all again.
But I still want to see them now,
To know how and where they've been.

When my best friend got sick and died,
My world came to an end.
And then one day I realized,
That she'll always be my friend.

She will always be around for me
No matter what comes my way.
It's like the world's great quote says:
"Carpe diem" -- seize the day.

Don't live in regret and don't rely on the past.
Live each day to the fullest and love like it's your last.
