I secretly light a candle
every night in my room,
Hoping your shadow will emerge
from night's silent gloom.
I secretly pull out my diary,
writing about how much I miss you
hoping somehow you'll find my words
and our forgotten memories, too.
I secretly go to the window again
smiling, I dry away my eyes.
Every star seems to shine..
are you up in the skies?
Because it seems like just yesterday
we were laughing and goofing around..
And today you're gone forever,
just another coffin in the ground.
I secretly believe that Heaven
is a far better place than here.
Whether I get in or not,
we'll play it ear by ear.
But for now I'm stuck on Earth,
secretly wanting to be with you..
You were my friend, supporter
and loving sister, too.
I secretly blow out the candle
wondering when this day will end..
I whisper, among the dark
"You will always be my friend"
