There is an answer, some day we will know,
And you will ask her, why she had to go,
We live and die, we laugh and we cry,
And you must take away the pain,Before you can begin to live again
So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the tears come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart.
There is a river rolling to the sea,
You will be with her for all eternity,
But we that remain need you here again,
So hold her in your memory, and begin to make the shadows disappear.
Yes let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart.
So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart, Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart, Carry me like a fire in your heart.

i know how bad it hurts, and i know how each tear that falls brings back a precious memory. i know how bad it tortures you as you wonder what could have been, and what it might be now. but as you have been blessed with the presence of any of these people who have gone before us before, learn to let go as you have recieved. their memory will never truly leave, but will only serve to make you a stronger person, with a bigger heart and a greater love for the things around you.
like gandalf said, i will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.
the song above was sung to us by our seniors in RGS, and it was their platoonmate who passed away, my senior who was my PSL when i was sec1 and whom we had always looked up to. we found it strangely and chillingly appropriate as we looked back after everything was over. we cried and we prayed but in the end God took her into His mighty hands. we shared a quiet solemn moment contemplating the meaning behind the song, and we emerged quietly more mature, and with a greater understanding of life and death. till now, i think of her occassionally, and i know without a doubt her passing has made me a stronger person, and i hope you would feel it too.
take care my favourite twerp (:
