If I Had Known

Folder: 
The Process

I had this dream the other day

That you were still here

A daydream, I was wide awake

I wish it were real,

My Jessee Dear


I missed the talks I had with you,

We talked of our dreams

But both were blue

You hid so well

What you were going through

I never knew,

I never knew...


You always covered your arms with sleeves

I had an idea of what lied beneath

I chose respect over questioning you

So I never knew

I never knew


Oh God

I wish that I had helped

Why,

Oh why

Did I not reach out?

How could I let you suffer alone?

If only

If only

You had made it known


Why, my friend,

Did you have to go?

Why did the poison win,

and send you back home?


The pain left behind

When you overdosed

Doesn't compare to the pain

Of you losing all hope


I'm so glad you're free

from your world of pain

But I miss you more

Each and every day


Jessee girl,

I need you to know

How you've changed me for the better

And that I love you so.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Rest in peace, my sweet friend. In August it will be a whole year without you, and I miss you more than I can describe. You are forever in my heart, and I love you always, Jessee.
