One Day We'll Walk Across That Bridge Together

I remember the day we met, all those years ago.
Never shall I forget when we were young.
Or even now, when we’re teens.
Or last year when we were minors.

Back then all seemed small.
But now, it has grown to be something more.
What we do now will create our history and our future.
Hopefully we’ll make the right choices.

Even if we don’t we’ll help each other do better next time.
Simple faults can bring the worst in ourselves.
However, we can always see past the flaws and see the good.
This way we can learn that someone will always give us another chance.

Not everyone will, but those who care will never fail.
If I shall fall you’ll always help me back to my feet.
Even after you get me back up you’ll stand near in case I fall again.
This proves how much you care about me.

As for you, you know I’ll do the same for you.
When others push you down I’ll stand in front of you and take the hits.
Just so you don’t have to I’ll withstand the ridicule.
In your place I’ll be when you don’t want to be yourself.

If a problem should arise I’ll give you advice.
It may not always be good enough, but it’ll make it less hard.
Maybe then you’ll be able to tread through it.
And if not, I’ll hold your hand and walk beside you.

You worst fears send chills down my spine.
I feel for you and when you cry I cry.
When you laugh I laugh.
When you die inside, my soul does too.

After all those years of friendship, it is coming to an end.
It’ll be hard at times I know, when we aren’t there for each other.
Surely the memory of one another will suffice.
Or maybe it will numb the pain.

Never again may we see each other.
We’ll always remain friends despite the distance.
We may not be as close as we are now, but it won’t matter.
For our hearts will have a special reserved spot only you can have.

Life may sometimes seem empty without your smile.
Weeks may turn bitter without your winning style.
Days might be brutal without your comforting words.
Years will go on forever without your presence.

We’ll live our lives separate.
Apart from each other is where we’ll be.
Each day we’ll grow in mind and soul.
Even without each other we’ll learn something new.

Some things between us will change.
Not everything will remain the same.
I’m sure it’ll be for the better.
But then again, maybe it won’t.

However some things will never change.
Our memories will all be one in the same.
So will our history back in the day.
And in the end, so will our fate.

Everyone lives and everyone dies.
This is how our stories will end, the last chapter will be the same.
Long ago we promised that no matter what happens from then until now,
One day we’ll walk across that bridge together into heaven.
