It's been five years today
since you left my life.
To live in the great unknown
My big brother
My best friend
The person who knew
just how to make me laugh
when I was down in the blues
You were so full of life
Your heart so full of love
My memories of you
will never fade.
Running around like Psychos
in the Target store down town
Taking posters and sword fighting
riding on the tricycles.
Sleepovers at my dads
That the grown ups didn't know about
even though they were in the next room
confiding in you secrets
I had never told a soul.
Confiding in me the fear
you never let show.
But then you were ripped away
Taken from me to soon.
Its been five years
and the pain of losing you
has never gone away.

My Best friend Alex died from lung cancer five years ago today (6/9/09)
He was only 17 years old.
He left behind a girlfriend and a son.
(I am not that girlfriend and his son is not mine)
