Last Saturday my friend passed away
and when I say what day that he passed away
people have been to think that I joke
but his death is no joke
I may call this man my friend, but to be honest I never really knew Joey
Yes, there was a slight time when I saw this guy, Joe
I only have one memory of him my freshman year of high school
and it was in the that slight time that we were friends in high school
I haven't seen him in 3 years and I only knew him for one
I haven't thought of him in 3 years and I just thought of him for once
With that I saw his death in my news feed and its hard to realize I can never message him
He probably wouldn't even of remembered me, but I remember him
I wear a memorial of his passing on my arm
I drew it myself and this anchor reminds me of him and his crew; all it takes is my arm
His passing makes this the hardest thing to write and I can't imagine the pain his real friends must feel
I'm sorry for us all, I'm sorry for his family, I'm sorry I don't know them, I'm sorry for how we feel
Most of all I'm sorry that I can't help, all I can do is remember
and hopefully me remembering and caring is enough to bring some comfort, I will remember.
To the memory of my friend Joey Morales, who passed away 4/20/13.
