We were inseparable,

Up in the swing set,
Down in the sandbox,
Hiding in our secret spot,
We had each other.

We could sit for hours,
Staring into the abyss,
Listening to our harmonic breathing,
Unsaid thoughts were spoken,
Spoken between silence,
We had each other.

We were inseparable,
But you drifted,
Slowly enthralled with poison,
Your veins boiling,
You couldn't escape your fate,
You were destined to die.

I didn't get to say goodbye,
You were gone,
You had been gone,
You weren't yourself,
No energetic pulses,
Just depressed faces,
If I only knew what battle you were fighting,
But I wonder would that change anything.

Somewhere I know the answer is not what I would hope,
I loved you before you were cursed,
I still love you,
But you ran to the rainbow bridge.

Maybe we'll meet again,
Once I cross that bridge,
I'll search for you,
And we can run together,
Happy ever after.
