Why Did It Have To Be All For Nothing

He had to be clever to come out on top. He had to be strong willed to last through all the pain.

He had to keep his bright nature so he would never lose himself, and always stay the same.

He had a pure, sweet spirit. He was a loyal friend.

He showed me what friendship should be. I wish I could give him his happy end.

He was different from all the rest, and I don't mean the spells he could cast.

He would have been just as special without them, because he was loyal to the last.

His love and mercy knew no bounds. Clumsiness was just another part of his charm.

I loved to see him happy. His smile had the power to disarm.

To think of him is bittersweet, because I know his happiness has died.

He may never smile again and I can't fix it. There is nothing to do but cry.
