Don

I can’t believe you’re gone. You were the only reason why I was strong. You persuaded me to keep on going, and Never give up. Now you’re gone, But forever you will stay in my heart. I really cared about you. You always Kept a smile on my face. Any room lit up with your presence from your grace. I remember when you tried to hook me and my 1st up. You seen he made me happy, and that was all that mattered To you. You stayed strong in hard situations. People Were always trying to criticize you. But you never let them see You frown. That’s what I loved about you. I remember when I first read you my poem. You told me To keep on writing, and never give up, you had faith I me. Remember you had me write a poem to your friend. It was her birthday. I did. I swear I am in s much pain because you are not here. I am a nervous wreck without you. I feel so bad because I been meaning To call you, and I kept procrastinating, then finally I decided to call. But it was too late. The day I called you, they found you dead in your apartment. I couldn’t breathe. I felt like it was my fault because you would always tell me That you always felt good when I called you. You haven’t heard from Me in so long. I wish I could talk to you, cause Don I can’t go on. We have so many memories. And I cherished each and every one of them everyday. I keep your obituary in my purse. I swear I wish you were here. You were a true angel. You kept me away from harm. I love you so much. It’s like the only way I can Talk to you is through my pen. I am doing this for you Don. You have been a great Impact on my life. I am so grateful that I had a person as special as you in my life. Because without you, life will never be the same Written February 10th, 2002 © on Feb 10 2002 12:22 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
