Miles Joseph Saunders
A friend, an idol, a brother
This guy was like no other
I swear this guy wasn’t human
A stranger? He knew none
Everyone he met he loved
Even in basketball he shoved
His way to the front and on top
Persistent, he never did stop
He would love you and hug you
Even if he didn’t know you
He welcomed everyone in with a warm heart
When I heard the news it tore my heart apart
17 years young and gone with one bullet
He always told me live life to the fullest
You never know when it’s time to go
Feels like yesterday even tho it was ages ago
I just wish i could die to come and see you
Nowadays everyone is fake it’s sickening
And now I’m thinking back to the beginning
The first day we met and hung out
I knew we would be good friends no doubt
I loved every day we spent at Goshen
Now im lyin down in an ocean
Of my own tears filled with sadness
But I think of you and smile of happiness
I sit here and think about the good times
Like the night we stayed up before Florida
When everyone tried their best to ignore ya
When we played 2k and pulled some pranks
When we joked about robbing banks
Thinking of you now just brings pain
Tears fall all day long like the rain
But I know I should be happy
Because being sad is ******
And I know you wouldn’t want that
**** it up like you did in combat
Never let anyone see me cry
Miles, you better fly high
Without you it’s so hard
I ******* miss you ******
Every move you made was for the good
I could tell just by the way you stood
You would never back down
You were the toughest guy in town
I’m sitting here thinking you’re still here
The thought of you gone isn’t clear
Like how is someone so great
Gone the very next day
Got me in dismay
Pray to you my life to take
Wish the news was fake
Scratching my heart with a rake
Visiting your grave ******* hurts
Heart feeling like I need a nurse
A lambo you should’ve pulled off in
Couldn’t even bring myself to your coffin
I didn’t want that to be my last memory
Didn’t want that to be the end of our history
Last time I saw you, you were thriving
With positive energy, **** was exhausting
I’m so glad we were friends, you and me
But now I’m the one saying, Rest In Peace.
