you always made me smile
you were there to understand
it seemed there's never
a moment that passed by
that you didn't shine

i was your silent shadow
maybe your earthly anchor
you were the vibrant moon
with a world to shine
it was hard not to notice

you never knew the way
your hand on mine
held me from moving closer
to the edge of things
when i thought i might go over

i went to the white room
and saw you there
they wouldn't let me stay
so i went for the longest walk
and the sun came up pale and cold

i went to your funeral and
i moved among the masses
but no one there knew me
without your familiar shine
and i think maybe that was better

i went to your grave today
and knelt down to be close
and i smiled and glistened eyes
and wondered at the irony
that you saved my life
and all i can do is remember yours
