Today, through my tears from the loss of a friend,
I remember that others can help me to mend

You are never so lost as when your heart has stopped flying
And nothing around you seems worth the trying

Then along comes a new person who says you're okay
And hasn't a clue how they helped make your day.

The tears are still falling even as I write
But my world is no longer black as the night

I will get through this, I have done it before
But oh, this one shook me right to the core.

Yet I have inner strength forged from fires from the past
And I know that such sadness isn't meant to last

So thank you new friend, you know who you are
You are close to my heart even though you're so far.
