One Nights Mistake

I watch as tears form.
They start rolling down her face
I look into her eyes
They tell me she needs space

It has almost been a year.
A year from the day he died
I can see shes still hurting.
But she holds it all inside.

I always hear about him.
Seems like theres a story everyday.
She tells me how amazing he is.
And how he always knew what to say.

With tears on her face she starts to talk.
She tells me shes the reason for his death
She talks about how much she misses him.
And she can sometimes feel his warm breath.

Ever since that night it has haunted her.
She has been the one she blamed.
She is so different now.
And i know she will never be the same.

She says she is the one.
The one who pushed him to drink.
She really wanted him to.
Now his life is down the sink.

He drank to much that night.
He still drove and hit a tree.
He died on the scene.
She just saw him as dead as could be.

He lost his young life.
It was his own sweet 16th birthday.
But now all she has is memorys.
And thoughts about that night wont go away.

It all happened in one night.
It all was one big mistake
It wasn't her fault.
Maybe it was his fate.

Now i sit and hope.
Maybe someday she will understand.
Until then i wait.
And have to watch her pain firsthand.
