I'll Always Remember

Folder: 
Improv 2001

Standing here,

tears streaming from my eyes.

I'm still so unprepared,

to say my last good-byes.

~

Casket lined with flowers,

family and friends all around.

Cries and sobs,

the only sound.

~

It still seems like you're here,

never thought the day would come,

that you would pick up a gun,

and do something so dumb.

~

You knew how much I loved you,

and that I would always be there.

But you were sunk so far into depression,

that you didn't even care.

~

I will always remember,

the good times we had.

Like those times I would tickle you,

and you would get mad.

~

I'll always remember,

our love oh so true,

and I hope you'll remember,

how much I love you.

R.I.P. Swen
