• I remember when I first met you,
    You were different,
    You were polite,
    Back then I was just a new kid,
    That everybody picked on,
    Just for a fight.

    It was in year seven,
    And I had just transferred schools,
    You were in a year higher then me,
    But that was cool,
    You didn't judge me
    Just because I was new.

    As the days went on,
    I talked to you more and more,
    We got to know each other,
    And soon we became friends,
    We used to hang out after school,
    All day, on weekends till it was dawn.

    The years went by,
    And soon I was becoming less shy,
    I had found my feet in this strange school,
    And you stood by my side,
    I was grateful to you,
    For being such a good friend.

    And then I heard the news,
    The crash that ended it all,
    We had an argument that night,
    About what I don't remember,
    But I expected to see you again,
    However that never came.

    I heard from my father,
    How you had drove off in fury,
    How you never saw the white van,
    Turning out from the corner,
    You hit it at full speed,
    And that ended your story.

    It hit me hard,
    Knowing you were gone,
    I pinched myself hoping it was a dream,
    But I never woke up,
    I cried all night,
    Knowing you weren't coming back.

    I'm sorry that I argued with you,
    About something that was probably immature,
    I should have said sorry,
    And you would have still been here,
    I think about you everyday,
    Just hoping to see your face.

    I'm sorry my old friend,
    That I will never see you again.
