As I sit here at my computer
Trying not to shed any tears,
I am thinking back upon the past
Looking at the last two years.
When I first met you at the movie theather,
I thought you were a little lame
Running after me to catch up
And run a little game.
But I did get to know you
and we had a little fun
Talked on the phone , joking around
The good times.
Well, we went together for a while
And it seemed that it wouldn't work out.
But after the break-up we remained friends
There was no need to shout.
And that was acutally cool for us
You boosted my self-esteem
You tried to get back up with me
and I told you in your dreams.
Last night, I called your cell phone
I hadn't talked to you in about 7 weeks
So imagine my surprise
When I heard your mother speak
I asked for you, she asked me who I was
I told her that I was your friend
She asked me where I was at that moment.
I told her about to go out with a friend.
She asked me was I sitting down
I told her yes I was and felt my heart go still
She told me on May 14, 2004
That you were shot and killed.
I was on such a state of shock...
I almost thought it was a joke
But I heard your mother's voice on the other end
and I listened while her heart broke.
She told me that it was a friend of yours
That was playing around with a gun
It popped on accident;went thru your heart
Before she knew it, you were gone
Im crying now because you didn't have to die
All because he made a choice
He chose to play with a gun and in so,
Forever silenced your voice.
It pisses me off and makes me so sad
You were her only child, her baby son
And a friends accident cost you your life
And now what can I say now that your gone?
I will never talk to you again
Never have a conversation with you on the phone
Never laugh with you again.
Becuase of a dumb teenagers choice....you are gone.
I will miss you a lot
I will miss everything about you.
I will go on with my life
But I will never forget you.
and yes family........this story is unfortunately......true.

Queentwana,
Thank you so much. I really need to hear that. I just found out his death yesterday and it shakes me to think of it. I remember the last time I talked to him, it took so long for me to call him back....and when I did....Psigh:....But true, his spirit will forever live. Please keep his mother in your prayers

I sure will keep her and you in my prayers...that goes without saying. As for you, ...*sighing*...you are so very young, and yes I know the pain you're feeling right now, but, whenever the pain come just think about something the two of you did together that was silly or off the hook, and just smile and know that he's smiling too. Both you and his mother will be just fine, for...time heals all wounds. And if you want...I'm here, you can feel free to "pm" me 24/7...that's on the real.
