You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I knew today
Gone. He was gone. Stan had known that the moment that he'd gone limp in his arms, but now it seemed final. Kyle Broflovski was not coming back. He wouldn't be waiting at the bus stop with him, Cartman, and Kenny. He wouldn't be calling to ask him if he was doing his homework. He wouldn't be coming to his house for Terrance and Phillip marathons. It was over. And Stan had ruined the last moments of his short life.
I would hold you in my armsI would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you
But I know you won't be there
An argument. The best friendship in all of South Park- in the entire world had been ended in an argument. The last three words Kyle remembered from Stan. "Fuck you, Jew." The last words of their ever-lasting friendship. All because of a girl. Wendy Testaburger. A breakup he'd been waiting for, but never wanted to happen. And it wasn't even Kyle's fault. Hell, it may not have even been Cartman's fault. He should have confronted Wendy, not Kyle. Then Kyle would still be alive.
I'm sorry for blaming youFor everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
He'd been living through the days. Just barely. He was on autopilot, walking and talking but not knowing what he where he was going or what he was saying. All he wanted was the one last chance to talk to his best friend. To tell him he'd never meant it. To take back ever argument, every painful memory. And keep all the good ones. He remembered the look in Kyle's eyes when he'd spoken. "Fuck you. Fuck you, Jew." The look had made him happy then, but now it stabbed through him like the glass had stabbed Kyle. Every memory, every thought, every word of Kyle hit him in the heart. He would never be the same again.
Some days I feel broke insideBut I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide
Cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this
More than anything, he just wanted a chance to say goodbye. He wanted Kyle to hear the last words he'd spoken, even though they'd been too late. "I love you too, Ky." But Kyle remembered him as the selfish bastard he'd been before he died. The one who cared more about his on and off relationship than his super best friend. What did Kyle think of him now?
Would you tell me I was wrong?Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back
He also remembered Kyle's last words to him. "Even if you hate me I still love you as a super best friend." So, Kyle didn't hate him. He'd always been too understanding. He should hate him. He'd said the worst thing he'd ever said. But he always saw the best in people, even Cartman. He needed to be understood right now.
If I had just one more dayI would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away
It's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try to turn back time
And now here he was, five days after Kyle's death, but it felt like a century. Because he couldn't see Kyle anymore. The thought suddenly hit him. There was no more Kyle. Never again. He said it over and over in his head, but couldn't get a grasp on what it meant. Never again would he look into his emerald eyes. Never again would he hear his high voice telling him a joke. Never again would he see him angrily try and tame his jewfro. Never again would there be a Kyle Broflovski.
I'm sorry for blaming youFor everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
He put the beautiful flowers on the tombstone that read
Here lies Kyle Broflovski
