Life is ******** death is God's forte
I would say **** the world but I'm stuck in foreplay
Why do you have to take friends that I had since the fourth grade
Rest in peace Allen Joseph Field
April 4th 1995 - July 7th 2013
Allen, I never would have expected to see so many familiar faces from our graduating class so shortly after we graduated
Honestly I didn't care to see half of them
Allen, I will never get to see your face again
Allen, the day I found out you had died I woke up to a group text from my best friends, missed calls from my mother and the second I stepped out of my doorway my father asked me if I had heard the news
I had, but I didn't believe it
Allen, when I went to work that day I was bagging groceries and saw a customer's eye light up as she realized the woman in front of her was a friend she hadn't seen in a very long time
I will never to run into you at the grocery store
Allen, the last time I saw you and actually talked to you was in a CD aisle at Walmart
You made a joke about how it looked like I was bald because I was wearing a hat and had just gotten a haircut
You made me laugh
Allen, you always made everybody laugh
Allen, I wish we stayed closer through high school
But I still remember freshmen year when we would play Xbox live and you would yell so loud I'd have to take my mic out
Or when we would ride our bikes up and down Black Hall Road and hangout a James' house and his dad would tell us to be quiet because we were all laughing so loud
And before that when you were just a mop of hair and a smile doing the truffle shuffle to make everyone in class crack up
Allen, I remember going to your birthday party one year and your mom owning a ton of Scooby-Doo DVDs
It tears me apart knowing that there is no mystery at the end of this episode that we can't pull the mask off of your ghost and bring you back
Allen, I wanted to say something at your memorial service but I couldn't compose myself
I hope it still means as much now
Allen, I never would have thought the new kid in my fourth grade class that would follow me a Danny around would have such an impact on my life
I never would have thought I would call you a best friend
I never would have thought I would see you go
Allen, everybody knew you loved to drive fast but none of us thought you would take it that far
That you would challenge God to a race in his golden chariot
That you would pass him and take the lead
That he would strike you down and take you from us
Allen, I pray your last seconds on Earth were pure euphoria
I pray you didn't have to feel a thing
Allen, I only believe in angels when I think about you
