Things We Shared
It's all the ways you were there. It's all the ways you quelled my fear. It's all the things we shared. That makes your death so unfair.

It's all the things we shared
It's all the things we shared
All the inside jokes
All the laughter and secret looks
All the films, TV shows and books
It's all the things we shared
All the deep discussions
All the insight and encouragement
All the kind words and soul nourishment
It's all the things we shared
All the ways we understood each other
All the soul bearing
All the uncomplicated love and caring.
It's all the things we shared
It's all the ways your light was so rare
It's all the ways you were self aware
It's all the times we rescued each other from despair
It's all the ways you were there
It's all the ways you quelled my fear
It's all the things we shared
That makes your death so unfair.
