I said I'd never touch a cigarette

I watched her sleeping  so peaceful and still
wondering if her eyes will open the next day
I felt so helpless, but what could I do
To take away the pain

I even prayed to something I never believed in
Every night for weeks
How can somebody be so fragile
Someone who once protected me

In the end the day came
I didn’t cry at first
But by the night there were no tears left
Time just made it worse

I  swore I saw a butterfly in my room
I swore it landed on my arm
The ones she used to teach me about
Telling me she’s never gone

I hope she’s knows she is never forgotten
And until we meet again
When I see those little white butterflies
I will always think of her
