The news came, and my heart broke
My friend, my love for a friend
Gone in an instant.
How could this happen,
We were just together
Dancing and laughing
Loving and hugging
You were so close to me
A caring friend, love that was safe
I smiled at you, and touched your face
We stood together in a long embrace
Shared our lives, our future hopes and dreams
Dared to be wild, and even believe
That one day happiness beyond this friendship
Would bring us closer and share our future, our families
And then, in a flash, an instant, a crash
It happened so quickly, you never saw it coming
Angels from above came running
They took you from me, from life, to be free
And left me here, alone to pick up the pieces
To remember my friend, my love for you
I honor you, on this day, and always
In every thought when I pray
You now are our angel, our bird in flight
On your stairway to heaven, late on that night
Know that throughout the years, I cried many tears,
wished I could share my life experiences with you
Then on one morning, love sought out my heart
And I happily tell you, it did not depart
I sit here on this day, remembering you my friend
I thank you for watching over me, you were heaven sent

He was only seventeen, a true friend, and I still see his smile and hear his laugh…
Hear him calling me Shortnsassy
