13 years...

You left not only me
but 3 others behind
you never came back
not even to say hi

Before I would feel you
right by my side
now that is fading
and I want it back

I want you to hold me in your arms
I want you to tell me its all right
I want you to tell me how I need to continue
I want you to tell me how I should fight

I need you right now
And I know its selfish to ask
I'm sorry when you needed someone
I could not help

Everyone thought I was a fool
when instead of tears I smiled
when you left I did not see you
When my sisters stood by me I held them tight

I've been strong for you my brother
I've been smiling ever since
These occasional tears are painful
they're full of your love and memories

I wish you were here
I need you here
I sometimes feel lost
I sometimes feel fear

This world is cruel
Just like you said
I've been putting up a fight
But not anymore

I take the punches
I lose the blood
I've become weak
And now I'm breaking

People are walking
walking in and out
this life is so short
but I can't seem to pull them back

If you were here
I know you would help
Send me a sign
anything - dear brother of mine...

this plea is for you - this prayer is for you - may your soul rest in the arms full of happiness of the Lord...
