DEDICATION TO SOMEONE GONE



For the months I knew you
my friend
all the time to ever come
could not make me lose the memory
of a grin
a laugh unmistakable

You touched us all
you gave us the reason to smile
everyday as the bell rung
and I arrived in class
your head turned, laughing
or greeting me with your kindness

Nobody could hurt you
nobody wanted to
you were the invincible young
just like us all
blink. we're born.
blink. we die.

Warming
and a new person at every turn
funny
dedicated
your personality could melt an iceberg
no one that met you regretted it

I don't remember the last time I saw you
I don't recall the first
you did something for all of us
If I saw you again through magic, in a dream
I could think of one thing to say to you
because only one thing needs to be said
THANKS.
