I remember you

You were a wonderful artist

Not many people had such a real talent

As your's

That picure is still on my wall

You'd help me with my homework

And always find the time

To ask me how my day was

You would go round the house

Turning off all the lights

And when asked you'd smile and say

"Old habit."

I remember you

You were immune to the coldness

And went around in shorts in December

You didn't feel the heat

At all

You were the first to wake up

But the last to go to bed

You gave out the best hugs in the world

You told us all about your nightmares

And we told you our's

And you knew just where to hide

And I would never be able to find you

You were the only one who could give advice

Without sounding mean

You knew how to make us smile

And even if you didn’t have a load of money

You always managed to buy us gifts

I’ve still got that skipping rope

You were here when we ripped up the carpet

And the floor made your feet go black

I remember you

People didn’t think we were friends.

After all we never shared any time together.

Yet our few short conversations

Held so much excitement for me

I can remember every joke we shared

And every time you laughed

I know I was only young

But you were the only one who understood me

I remember you

I remember the way you’d wear you’re baggy clothes

Even if they held so many holes

You wouldn’t wear anything else

As they held so many memories

You had one sugar in your tea

You would glance over at the passenger as you drove

You’d tuck one leg underneath you

And stick the other out

No matter how much weight I’d put on that outstretched leg

I could never stop you from moving it from side to side

You loved to eat Indian foods

And you’re father was an arsehole

You liked to tease your stepsister too much

You loved your X- Box with all your heart

And had a wild passion for Elvis

You were here we had that power cut

And we only had a few candles

I remember you

You knew how to calm us down

When we had our fights

You had to restrain my sister that time

And then joked about it later

You taught me the meaning of friendship

And the understanding of life

You helped me smile while I was down

I loved that drive with us four in your car

We got lost

Me and my sister crunching biscuits,

Getting crumbs all over the floor

You didn’t really mind

And never even got stressed out.

I remember you

You’re large smile

And you’re happy laugh

You’re hair colour will never fade

And the youthfulness will remain

I remember you

I watched my first horror movie at our house

But Rachael didn't even flinch

She'd got used to the sigh of blood by then

You gave her that love for thrills

And she's not really been scared since

You were sort of like a child inside

Although you were twenty two

You played with the remote controlled helicopter

We brought you

Like it was the best thing in the world

We still have that blue blanket

You're favorite catoon was Garfield

I gave you back you're comics

But now I wished I kept them

Just so I could laugh at the jokes

I missed the first time round

We've kept all the photographs

And laugh and cry at the memories

Looking back it was one hell of an adventure

And ever day the pain gets a little more intense

It was worth all the while

We glad we shared that time together

I remember you

Forever

I remember you
