Your lust for success is contagious
I get caught up in the wake and buried by mistakes
A hundred steps behind you
Yet still I see your face

Happiness is a factor
One of many goals
You lost it in the battle
And won it back when the time arose

I always saw you as a warrior
Defending your beliefs
Overflowing with sorrow
Yet you kept away the grief

I strive to follow closely
The example that you've set
To go on fighting bravely
And learn with every regret
