Wasn't Supposed To Happen

Just yesterday I saw your gleaming face

Smiling bright as the sun

Questioning what would happen tomorrow?

Go to college. Get a job. Have a family.

But then you turned pale.

It wasn't supposed to happen.

You were too young.

You had goals. Lifelong.

Why'd lifelong have to end today?

It wasn't supposed to happen.

Just a few minutes ago I saw you sitting there

Awaiting for your father's arrival.

Awaiting for your friend to come over.

You just waking up from a deep and heavy slumber.

It wasn't supposed to happen today.

How you leave me is a mystery.

It isn't your time to go

Something that never should've happened.

Didn't happen to me... Just something that came to mind.
