Rest in Peace and Paradise Ivan Sanchez

Gone but not forgotten
Heaven at least it’s not Hell
We never realized it
Until your last brain cells fell

You were dying
Slowly…Quietly…Silently
But still dying
Did you realize it before it was too late
Or did it hit you like it hit us
Like a slap in the face
Hard…Painful…Unforgotten

The boy who lived life to the fullest
No regrets…Never looked back
Ready for anything and yet ready for nothing
Ready for the changes that changed everything
The change from this live 16 year old boy
To this silent, quiet, cold boy in the perfect suit
In the velvet coffin

Oh the tears we cried, the red eyes
Even if we weren’t there, we still cried for you
Waste no tears for you’re still here
Spiritually yes.
But we need you physically
“Wake up” Mother Sanchez begged tearfully
What we’d give for her wish to come true.
Oh but why did God have to take you?

You were a Riot!
You ran for your life
You ran for tomorrow you ran for tonight
You ran til you died
There was no point in living if you didn’t live life
A Riot!
You stood up til you fell
You moved off the wall
But when you broke you took it all
You were nothing to some people
But EVERYTHING to all the rest
Your family, Your Nayeli, Your friends
Your body may be lifeless in that coffin
But your soul, your spirit roams your home
Full of vibe full of love
Comforting you mourning loved ones

So this is for my peoples who just lost poor Ivan
You brother, your son
Your Baby, the only one.
Your Homie, your Son
The only one who truly stayed until the end

The end for now
Because everyone knows we’ll all see you again
You’ll be back again
Bigger and Better than ever
Take care for now old Friend
For you’re an angel now
A bright star shining in your rightful place in the night sky
Until paths cross again in the near future.
