Does it get easier?

People say it gets easier every day,
But I still find myself asking why you couldn't stay.
My brother, my friend, my guide and my light,
I miss you so much with each passing night.

Paul, you were so troubled and so pained,
So I know that it's selfish to want you back again.
But this pain in my heart is carried every day,
Ever since the day that you went away.

In your darkest days, I was your light.
I tried so hard to put up your fight
But it wasn't enough for me to be tough,
The road you were following was just too rough.

I know you'll be happy now, sitting up on your cloud
And your love for us, will forever shroud.
But what I wouldn't give to see you again,
To tell you I love you and take away some of your pain.

I feel I should've done more, while you were still here,
Taken away your pain and freed you from fear
I tried so hard to help you bro,
But it wasn't enough and you had to go.

I miss you so much, deep within my heart.
Never did I think we would have to part.
So cruel, so young, so sudden, so soon.
I love you bro, and I'll see you over the moon.
