[Verse 1]
A rainy January took you away,
The sky cried with me that endless day.
Your laughter still lingers, soft in my mind,
I wish I’d seen the pain you hid inside.
[Pre-Chorus]
If only I’d known the storm you faced,
I’d have held you close, not left that space.
[Chorus]
Oh, my sweet cousin, my heart still bleeds,
For all the love you thought you didn’t need.
You were only fifteen, too young to fly,
Too young for tears to say goodbye.
I miss you each night, I whisper your name,
And pray your heart found peace beyond the rain.
[Verse 2]
They say the world had been unkind,
That shadows lingered in your mind.
But you were beauty, soft and true,
The world just never deserved you.
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t see what your silence meant,
All the broken things you never said.
[Chorus]
Oh, my sweet cousin, my heart still bleeds,
For all the love you thought you didn’t need.
You were only fifteen, too young to fly,
Too young for tears to say goodbye.
I miss you each night, I whisper your name,
And pray your heart found peace beyond the rain.
[Bridge]
I can’t imagine the pain you felt that night,
The weight you carried, out of sight.
I can’t imagine those final tears,
Those lonely seconds, full of fear.
I hope God held your trembling soul,
And made your shattered spirit whole.
You deserved so much better, my love,
You deserved so much more—so much love.
I hope He wrapped you in light above,
And gave you the peace this world took from us.
[Final Chorus]
Oh cousin, I hope you’ve found your peace,
Where pain and sorrow finally cease.
You were only fifteen, but you’ll always be,
Forever alive inside of me.
I miss you so much, I whisper your name,
And dream you’re smiling beyond the rain.
[Outro]
A rainy January, you slipped from sight…
And I’ll love you softly, all my life.
