You should have lived A peaceful life, Or at least One with very minimal sorrows What you got is death You should have lived A loving life If not that Then one where you at least knew what love tasted like What you got was lungs filled with water You should have lived With your brother If not that Then i wish i could have warned you about it What you two got was a painful death You should have lived To 19 this year 20 in march 15th You should have lived to be two years older But you didn't You died with your brother You should have lived To bring joy into peoples hearts like you always did If not that You being here would be enough for me That you got was your last day on earth Today i remember The short life you lived And how great it was And today i learn to let you go, just a little bit, To let you finally rest in peace I wish i could Replace you and your brothers life With mine Because above all things You should have lived

You should have lived
You should have lived A peaceful life, Or at least One with very minimal sorrows What you got is death You should have lived A loving life If not that Then one where you at least knew what love tasted like What you got was lungs filled with water You should have lived With your brother If not that Then i wish i could have warned you about it What you two got was a painful death You should have lived To 19 this year 20 in march 15th You should have lived to be two years older But you didn't You died with your brother You should have lived To bring joy into peoples hearts like you always did If not that You being here would be enough for me That you got was your last day on earth Today i remember The short life you lived And how great it was And today i learn to let you go, just a little bit, To let you finally rest in peace I wish i could Replace you and your brothers life With mine Because above all things You should have lived
today, on January 10th, 2016, my friend and his brother died in a kayaking accident. two years ago i lost a friend and I'm still dealing with the loss. today is forever going to be a sad day for me, but i will try to have a nice tomorrow.
