One cold night you were gone,
Everything went so wrong,
All those times that I regret,
All those memories I can’t forget,
I’m holding all these feelings in,
As that time comes around again,
I stumbled into the living room,
I knew bad news would be coming soon,
They were sitting on the couch, my mother cried,
Then Al told Ali and me that you had died,
I didn’t want to believe it; the tears came so fast,
I felt like I was having a heart attack,
I walked down that isle, holding my head high,
Then I broke down, and started to cry,
I saw your body in that coffin,
Not something you’d want to see very often,
I don’t get it; you weren’t even that old,
But I touched your face and it was cold,
I couldn’t believe that it was actually true,
I never got to tell you that I love you,
I never even got to say goodbye,
Because my Uncle Jamie had to die,
Reality finally hit me this year,
This was one of my greatest fears,
You’re really gone, only ashes are left,
This had to be the ultimate theft.
