my friend almost died. and it scared the shit out of me.
a net
the tears blur your mascara
you shake when you recall the tale
your whole life flashed before your eyes
beneath the dark and stormy skies
the rain fell hard on the interstate
that almost claimed your life
but you're safe now
and you're home alive
and I thank you for surviving last night
the night we fought i had a dream you died
i attened your funeral for old time's sake
it mirrored my own father's wake ((remember that?))
in the complete sense i lacked a complete thought to say
you were there then
and i'm glad you're here now
and we forgave each other for being...young
the night we smoked cigarettes in the cold
your lips turned blue
you almost passed out
i was never happier to see you
last night you almost died
and i'm thankful you're here
so i'll wipe the tears off of your face
and hug you until you regain composure
it may take a while
but last night was rough
and after losing you before
this is reason enough
to be a friend
