In the blink of an eye you found me
I needed a friend as did you
I was sinking into the depths of despair,
you seemed to be losing ground too.
It took us awhile but we bonded,
our love for each other grew strong.
We weathered the storms of the fearful,
to each other's hearts we held on.
We jumped painful hurdles together
healing our hearts on the way.
Our stumbles revealed hidden blessings
filling our lives with sweet grace.
Just as our friendship was blooming
it came time for you to go home,
your spirit flew high as my heart broke
in the blink of an eye you were gone.
You assured me you made it to heaven
and the bond that we share cannot die.
Someday when I get there you'll greet me
two souls joined in the blink of an eye.
