Your smile could light up a room
like the sun lights up the sky.
You left this world so suddenly no one
was ready to say goodbye.
When I heard you had died my heart grew cold.
It has been three months since you left this world behind,
but it feels like you were with me just yesterday.
Some days I still don't believe you really died.
I don't  want to accept the fact that you are really gone.
I want to hear your voice one more time.
I want to walk beside you on the vibrant green turf
of the football field just talking about our futures.
If I could just hug you one last time
and feel the warmth radiating off your body.
To hear your soothing voice telling me
everything will be okay than maybe
I could except the fact that you are gone.
As for now I don't want to believe that it is true.
A part of me died alongside you that night,
that part of me I will never be able to get back.
Not a day will go by that I don't think of you
and wish I could hold you in my arms.
I cant watch a football game without thinking
AJ could have done that better.
I just want to say a formal goodbye to you.
You were taken from this world way to soon
and I don't understand why.
People may say I'm holding to much onto the past
but how could I leave the only memories of my best friend behind.
Even though you died young you still left behind a legacy.
You will be remembered for many years to come not only in
the hearts of family and friends but also in the actions
of many young football players that will get a chance
to pursue their dreams because of the scholarship
you have given them a chance to get.
Even though you may be gone in the flesh in my
heart is your memory and there you will always be.
