Closer than Brothers
Unbreakable Bonds: A Tale of Timeless Friendship by Joshua Loing
Lyrics
In a different life we would be best friends
In an alternate reality, we would be the closest of friends.
From an early age
From a young age,
Who would ask you to come out and play everyday
Someone who would invite you to play every day.
Chasing kites in the tree by the yard
Pursuing kites near the tree in the yard.
Time won't matter at all
Time would be irrelevant.
Your style is contagious
Your unique way of living is infectious.
Then we would dress alike
Eventually, we'd even dress similarly.
We're closer than brothers
We share a bond stronger than that of brothers.
I never had this before
This connection is unprecedented in my life.
Time owes nothing to us but farewell
Time owes us nothing except a parting farewell.
To tell you that our time is up
To inform you that our time together has concluded.
Once we are gone who is gonna care
Once we're no longer here, who will remember our existence?
If we were ever here at all
Our presence in this world may go unnoticed.
I thought i saw you last night
Last night, I thought I saw you.
Strange things a memory might do
Memories can evoke strange emotions.
We sat down and shared a cigarette
We shared a moment, smoking a cigarette.
Talked life and setbacks over coffee
We discussed life and its challenges over coffee.
When you said you're leaving I didn't see it coming
When you announced your departure, it caught me by surprise.
You disappeared but the story will remain
You may be gone, but your story will endure.
I didn't expect it all to end
I didn't anticipate the sudden end of it all.
At the wave of your hand
It happened with a simple wave of your hand.
Tyo my man, so I'll keep going
To my friend, I'll keep moving forward.
Here I am and no one else
Here I am, unique and irreplaceable.
From one day to another
Living from one day to the next.
And when it's my turn to go
When it's my time to depart,
I hope you stay out of trouble like your mother hopes
I hope you navigate life without trouble, as your mother wishes.
Let me be your lighthouse
Allow me to guide you like a lighthouse.
Watching over you with fingers crossed
Watching over you with hopeful anticipation for your endeavors.
For everything you do
