Gone

Gone..
He was gone so young.
16 to be exact.
I don't believe it could be harder then now.
I try to be strong and push those sad feelings down,
Try to forget them-but I cant.
Their there everyday and I think everyday,
How life could be different.
The reminders are everywhere.
Everything I do I think of you.
It's so weird to think that you are actually real.
I think I've lost sight tthatt you once were here.
Its so unreal and I cant tell anyone this,
But I don't think I remember much of you.
You were my superman though.
Mommy misses you like no other.
I think we're all a little lost without you.
Every storm is a constant reminder.
I wonder if he ever thinks of the boy he got killed,
And the family he tore apart.
A lots changed without you here.
You were gone so young.
Its been almost six years now.
You'd be 22 and I wonder where you would be,
You never got your chance at life.
Who knows maybe you would of done something great.
You did do something great.
The more I talk the more I cry.
The more I wonder why?
I think of how life could have been different.
Maybe this was really meant to happen?
I just wish I got to say goodbye.
I wish you weren't gone so young.
