In my heart you'll stay

People always say,
things happen for a reason.
But I never figured out why
that it was you God had chosen.

That morning I got the phone call,
I didn't believe it at first.
But when it sank in,
my insides started to burst.

Crying and crying,
the tears kept rolling down.
I couldn't even picture
life with you not around.

You always made everyone laugh,
putting a smile on someone's face.
Now everyone walks around,
in their lives is an empty space.

You always seemed to be the joker,
a person with no worries.
Now when I think about you,
I only have the best memories.

The way that you were taken,
life seems so unfair.
But as people kept on telling me,
I guess God needed you more up there.

It really makes me sad,
that we never gave a proper goodbye.
But I know you are looking down on me,
whenever I look to the sky.

It's been two years since you've been gone,
and it only seems like yesterday.
But everyday I still think about you,
because in my heart you'll stay.
