the best friend
that came along
amazing companion
who does no wrong
amazing love
between eachother
strong like the mother
What a powerful thing
this friend does bring.
I cannot say no
when it comes in slow
such a kind way
to enter in,
eases and pleases
like a spring wind
asleep so deep within the spell
my best friend wakes me
like the distinct bell
it calls me to play again and again
I can't help but say now
when it says when
I can't say no,
when it comes in slow
such a kind way
to enter in,
eases and pleases
like a spring wind
what will become of the two of us?
I will not withdraw!
so pure this lure,
I want more and more
if I cannot afford the love n'more
what, then, to live for?
I will die for this love I found
and this love will put me down.
so softly in the ground.”

Ultimately, in every aspect of our lives, that final choice is up to each of us. If the mind is not right, it's a good bet the choices won't be any better. Whatever her troubles, they are now over. My sincere condolences to those she leaves behind. To remember her, just listen to the wonderful work she left behind from such a short life. May she rest in peace.
