My mentor was your friend He spoke so animatedly of your passion and humor You were the single light bulb in a closet of clutter I wish I could've experienced your soul I was told you were bright and kind like the morning sun No one knew the dark cloud behind your golden rays You were my father, though you never knew it Showing me that father figures always had my best interest Your shadow hasn't left us We miss your smile, genuine or not It hurts me knowing that I'll never get to make you smile back.
