We met one day a long time ago
everything seemed to be alright,
i remember it all went so fast
and the day turned into night.
we both had to leave in a hurry
we had places to be,
but i never knew that anyone could make such an impression on me.
i spent my nights thinking about you
and wondering how you were,
and i spent my days with you
only wishing for more.
i was never happy
with everything i had,
i wanted you so much
i wanted you so bad.
i wanted more than friendship
i wanted to fall in love,
for i truly thought that maybe
you were sent to me from above.
you seemed to be an angel
for you were so gentle and kind,
sometimes you were a little over protective
but i didn't mind.
you were the only thing in my life
i couldn't stand to lose,
if one of our lives had to be taken
it would be mine I'd choose.
you were constantly on my mind
and you grew on my heart,
i could never have imagined
us ever being apart.
but you got taken away from me
and not a word was spoken,
but i know my heart has never
felt anywhere near this broken.
your life was taken by someone
who didn't even know you,
he took you away from everyone
we all know it was too soon.
you were so young
you had your whole life ahead,
if only i had of listened to
all those words you said.
you told me you were in trouble
i didn't think it was that bad,
and before i lost you
i never realized what i had.
i know i need to move on now
for it has been over a year,
but i still haven't come to terms with your death
i need you to be here.
i miss you more than anything
more than words can say,
i know i could have stopped it if i was there
and you would still be here today.
i know i cant go on
blaming myself Because i wasn't there,
because if i do it is to myself
that i am being unfair.
now you really are an angel
watching over me day and night,
but i know in my heart i could never
bring myself to say goodbye.
He had a gorgeous smile
and a caring face,
he had a name
Bourkey Rest In Peace!
