I'm losing everything
 At least that's what she is to me
 So I guess there's nothing left
 If she's not here with me
 We've been friends  for too long
  I might not survive this withdrawal
  It hurts me deep down to my soul 
  to know that I am the cause of any pain in her heart
  We always use to talk about stuff like this
  I'd always say what if one day we just stop talking
  she'd reply that's never going to happen 
   but right about now I feel like she's slipping 
    right through my hands and tears fall as I write this
     cause she's the best thing to ever come into my life 
      and I don't know what I would do without her
      People may say oh you will be just fine
      But they've never had a friendship as strong as ours
       To watch it crumble like it never exsisted 
        is like watching my family member die  
        she is the reason why I stand when I want to fall 
         She is my sister more than the real ones
          and I would never forgive myself if I let her slip away
          without fighting first. It's something she taught me.  
           How to be strong. She taught me how to let love in. 
            Before her I didn't trust anybody near this heart. 
             I never believed in friendship much cause I 
             always end up getting hurt. She's always been there for me. 
              Through the good times and the worst.
                I fear losing her more than I fear losing myself.   
                 A part of me is now dead inside cause she's not around. 
                  I hope she's accepts my apology cause I don't want to lose everything. 
                            I don't want to lose the reason that I smile.
