I remember it all too well,

The tears streaming down my face

I break down, holding on to the embrace

You’ll get through this, you’re strong

Keep fighting, no matter how long

We all need you bud, it’s just a speed bump

This disease you’ll trump

This infestation of your own body

I’d do anything to help, buddy



I love you so much, friend

I refuse this to be the end

I’ll carry you if I have to,

On my back for my whole life

Although I know that’s not what you want
But I just need you to survive



You’ve carried me, if anything

You’ve grabbed it by the throat, this thing

Meaning to separate you from your loved one
s
It nestles in your legs, kidneys and lungs

Yet you fight, as hard as it is

I know you cannot fathom what it is to miss

Everything that comes next, you deserve to be there

Such a great person, it’s only fair



I tease you, you tease me

And for a moment, we let each other flee

The horrible thoughts, the difficult time

The near enough impossible mountain you must climb

We can only cheer you on, we can’t climb along

It hurts more than anything, but please stay strong

So you will, I know you will

And this cancer you’ll definitely ****

I’ve seen you lose your hair, your cheek and your colour

At least we’ve all still got one another

You couldn’t even walk, too weak and fragile

Not really yourself, and way too docile

Yet you were still with us, and we with you

As you tried your best to stay,

It’s as if you knew

We’ve laughed so much, and now we cry together

You’re the strongest person I know, a golden centre



I jumped through the roof when I heard

The nightmare was over, you’re finally cured

Beat the clump that tried to best you

Nobody can do that pal,

Told you you’d get through

Now it’s time to enjoy life

Instead of meaning to survive

No longer on a hospital bed

Not having to think of death

You were twenty

Life still has to offer plenty

I love you so much, friend

I refuse this to be the end

I’ll carry you if I have to,

On my back for my whole life

Although I know that’s not what you want

But I just need you to survive



It’s back, you told me teary-eyed

I froze up,

Wanting to speak, I really tried

I hugged you tighter than I ever could

This shouldn’t be possible

Not to someone this good

We’re always there for you

I finally muttered through tears

Couldn’t have imagined this in my worst fears

So, another fight

Another sleepless night

My problems are insignificant, 

Every time I think of you

Every time I imagine of what you go through



“We can’t help him anymore.”

At those words, our worlds collapse

But maybe, j-just perhaps

No, it’s over,

Not a hundred four-leaf clovers

Will change the outcome

We’re now left wondering

How many days are left to come?



Even after this, you fight

You battle, struggle, yeah you might

Not win this time, but you’re amazing

I can still barely accept, that you won’t be raising

Any kids of your own, it’s so cruel

But yet you go to school,

Yet you still find purpose

Yet you don’t see yourself as worthless

And you’re not, you’re an inspiration

For the whole, entire nation

You’re a fantastic friend

You’re a legend,

We’ll be with you until the end, my man

And when the day comes, we’ll be there

Doesn’t matter when or where



It’s not fair.
