There is nothing I would not give to see the
light that shines behind those closed lids










To see that goofy grin on those pale lips that are


now stilled into a now permanent frown







There is nothing I would not give to hold your
warm hand and have my one and truly best friend back






To take back those filled words back and

say I love you one last time











Though if you wish to be free then I will





give everything to see that you leave this place
