Lakendrick

You kept your spirit private, but you shared your joy with me

A giddy, happy energy, as patient as could be

Whenever I was hurting and my day was going wrong

You would listen to my worries and help me to be strong

No matter what the hour was, you never let me down

Just a single conversation could turn it all around

I miss the late-night phone calls, the comfort of your voice

I miss the way your sudden laugh could make my heart rejoice

You told me I could do anything, you said you were so proud

The way that you adorned me is a light behind the clouds

I'm reading all our messages, remembering what we said

Lakendrick, your sweet presence is a healing peace instead

I'm sorry I wasn't with you when your final moments came

I tried so hard to get to you, and nothing feels the same

I was rushing through the distance, but the time just slipped away

I love you more than any earthly words could ever say

But I know your loving, kind heart wouldn't want to see me fall

You'd just tell me to keep going and stand tall through it all

I miss the late-night phone calls, the comfort of your voice

I miss the way your sudden laugh could make my heart rejoice

You told me I could do anything, you said you were so proud

The way that you adorned me is a light behind the clouds

I'm reading all our messages, remembering what we said

Lakendrick, your sweet presence is a healing peace instead

I miss the texts, I miss the talks, I miss my closest friend

The patience that you showed to me right up until the end

I couldn't make it in the room to hold you as you passed

But the confidence you gave me is always going to last

I miss the late-night phone calls, the comfort of your voice

I miss the way your sudden laugh could make my heart rejoice

You told me I could do anything, you said you were so proud

The way that you adorned me is a light behind the clouds

I'm reading all our messages, remembering what we said

Lakendrick, I will carry you until my very end
