I'm never gonna see you again, you are gone
and now I feel as if I'm completely empty
when they told me you died I stopped breathing
I felt as if the life had been ripped right out of me
and now I see I loved you more than even I knew
and the tears kept falling down from my tear stained face
tatooed on my heart is the pain that I am feeling
and at the end of the day my heart is out of place
chorus
you were always there with a bottle of coke in your hand
jean shorts that are baggy and smiling when you can
you were always there with a hat on your head
sneakers on your feet, a camera around your neck
everybody loved you, you were so special
as you lead the song stay on the sunny side
I would sit on the bus and sing along
but each time my soul slowly died
you were never bitter, never complained
always friendly and positive filled with life
and everytime camp was over and we said goodbye
it was cutting my heart like a knife
chorus
I can still hear the way you laughed
the way you would ask if your hat was on straight
the way you would grasp each moment
and live as if there was no fate
chorus
I understand what death is like, I lost my father. Wow your poem made me cry. Awesome poem, and once again, beautifully written.
