Ive thought of you often
This past month
Often lost inside my head.

Ive thought of your dark brown eyes
Made up of
Mischief and practical jokes.

Ive thought of you laughing
Sometimes at me
Although usually, we laughed together.

Ive thought about all of us
Four best friends
Loud, young, and inseparable.

You were the big brother
Of us all
By blood for them; by heart for me.

We use to dream of
Being forever invincible
Until that one November day.

I Imagine what your face looked like
When you realized
Your car was no longer safe.

I will always remember the looks
Upon theirs faces
When that doctor told us to say goodbye.

November 23rd became the day
Four became three
As the innocence was bled from our hearts.

Sometimes I wish I could forget
Youre now gone
But I don't want to forget you.
