Hand Picked For Paradise

You were hand picked for paradise The paradise on this earth and the ones with the Gods You lived your life unapologetically Filled with laughter and even filled with tears Your loneliness was paramount I could see it Your heart yearning for love I could feel it Your body ached for a loving touch I saw you

You were hand picked for paradise of the world of songs and music For a world where you could be free to be yourself In a world still yet unsure of itself I knew you well I loved you well as you loved me so We were friends Lovers in another world Lovers in another life I saw you see me in the mix of who you were

You were hand picked for paradise of a world that still remembers you In a world you never knew In a world that may have been more forgiving of you You were my friend We remember you has you were I sometimes see you here and there I sometimes feel you next to me The sound of your voice on the radio sooths me Photos of you are always in view

I loved you then I love you still my friend My lover, my best friend You were hand picked for a paradise just for you
