I Will Remember... Forever

A bunch of flowers rested
On the white marble top...

The marble bowed down
Till it reached the ground...

Under the marble
Was sand
Sand that went down
Till it hit the hard, cold wood
Six feet under

Beyond the cold surface
He slept without moving an inch

His eyes that were closed
Hid the bright green eyes filled with life
But not anymore

His hands rested above his heart
As if holding a promise
But I felt that they were begging
Begging for them to beat again

But my foolish hopes
Had to be destroyed
Even if life can be brought back
Right from the grasp of death
I know
He wouldn't budge
But I hope that one day
He will open those eyes
That hide the bright green balls of life

But who am I kidding
He embraced death
To be who he is now
Oh Friend!
I will remember... forever
Till the day I die
I will remember

I will remember
How you died in my arms
I will remember
How you bravely embraced death
Especially when you could dodge it
I will remember
How you let death claw through your life slowly
I will remember
How your pain disappeared
As death appeared
At your doorstep
I will remember
How brave you were
I will remember
Every second of life that you spent
In my arms dying
With a smile
That radiated life
I will remember
Every second of your life
For they are embedded forever
In my memories

Dear friend,
I will remember you
I will remember... forever
