They have told me that
Your drips of red glistened on the sidewalk
They have seen you with your back towards the sun
On a late afternoon light,
Time stopped for a moment
They knew you left your body, there on cold asphalt
The ones who saw, thought of you with pity
But they do not know any better
It is them who ought to be pitied
You are free more than you could possibly be
Limitless, endless
After seeing your state, their lives continued
But you
Have your eternal sleep
Have your timeless rest
Find comfort far away from here
Someday I will be with you again
When breath is gone and wings are spread
And I will wake up for the very first time
I will hold your hand and fly by your side
For now, I know days will never be too easy
I will ask whatever God there is to help me through
And I will live day by day with memories of you
