A poem written in memorium of my best friend who died years ago.
We were young; we were restless.
We were a couple of whirlwinds.
I remember.
We played together; we hurt together;
We were the best of friends.
I remember.
We dared each other;
We laughed with each other.
I remember.
We were the class clowns;
Witty beyond measure.
I remember.
We helped each other in times of trouble, sometimes into trouble;
And we laughed about it later.
I remember.
We were friends forever, until the very end;
For you it was too soon; death bared its fangs and carried you away.
Leaving me here alone.
I cry.
I remember.
I will remember.
