I could never do things

Like you could

It was never

That easy

For me

I walked among

The shadows

They became all

That I could see

I saw your love

As a burden

That tied me to

My past

Yet it was you

Who unshackled the chains

Of hatred

And set me free

At last

You never gave up

On friendship

You pushed ever closer

To my heart

You ran the miles

To find me

Every time that we

Would part

Somehow

You could see me

Despite the darkness

I embraced

You continued

To call me

Your friend

No matter the troubles

We faced

In the end

It was you

Who I needed with me

The most

I feel a sense

Of peace

And power

When I know

That you are close

I could never do things

Like you could

That emotion

Felt like a prayer

But I will not

Fall into darkness

Again

Knowing

That you will be there

I will continue

Traveling the world

Until my time

Comes to

An end

And I will never

Be alone

Because I know

We're friends.
