I imagined my friend's death
And I normally would have cried
For I think of all the pain she felt
And the torture when she died
But I've got to stop crying
And I've got to look on
For I believe when my friend died
She tried to be strong
So I have the whole story
Planned out in my head
It makes me feel better
Than the blunt fact that she is dead
So here is my story
And here's why I don't cry
Because it makes it all better
That I didn't say my goodbye
Kelly was tired
And was bout to go home
So she got in her car
And was driving all alone
She was humming her favorite song
She was singing out loud
That's how I remember her
She was always so proud
But soon her eyes closed
And the humming went away
Kelly was too tired
She'd worked just too hard today
There was a loud bang
And the car spun upside down
But Kelly remained asleep
And no one was around
Then an angel from god
Took her hand
She awoke
And they flew to a land
Of magical mermaids
And all that she loved
And she did not cry
She was happy up above
And god said to her
"If you had just one more day, would you change anything, and would you have walked on your way
For I believe you would have dismissed getting in the car"
But she just laughed and said
"Walking home is just too far"
"But if I had to change things that I have done,
Id love to tell my mother that she's always number one,
I'd like to tell my family how I love them so
And how much I am hurting now because I had to go
I want to say sorry to my brother for we always had fights
I wish that I had slept instead of working late at nights"
God smiled down and said
"I am proud"
And Kelly walked away
And joined her father on their cloud
For now I believe that it was best I didn't say goodbye
For when I see her next, we'll both hug and we'll both cry
For I'll wait all my life
So I can tell her what I feel
I'll wait until I die
To make all my dreams real
But until the day I die
In my head that story's true
Kelly if your listening
I'm always missing you
