In Loving Memory

You were always there for me,
Every day when I got home,
You were so very dear to me,
The greatest friend I’ve ever known.

I know you were not always happy,
Or who you wanted to be,
But none of that ever mattered,
You were the perfect friend for me.

A wonderful caring person,
With a heart of love to give,
I wish you could have shared more,
I wish you could have lived.

So often since that awful year,
I’ve had things I’ve wanted to say,
But I lost the ability to do so,
On that tragically fateful day.

We were both far too young then,
We each had more to learn,
Plenty more to teach each other,
But your road took an untimely turn.

You were taken from me,
And, though, your love endures today,
I’ll never get to see you again,
Or say what I want to say:

I love you,
and I miss you.

Peace,
Justin
