For Reed- I Remember You

 

I want to remember you
Remember you with a big smile on my face
Remember you with a laugh
To ruminate on your inspirational story and character

I want to remember you
But not like this
Not with these tears of sorrow streaming down my face
Not with the hollow, empty and dark feeling which consumes me when I think of you
Mopping up all my joy and light

I want to remember you my friend
For your bravery
You faced bullets and great losses
Yet, you still managed to light up my world

I want... I NEED to remember you
Not for what or who you could have been
Not for what you could have done
But for who you were
For who I will be.

Rest in eternal peace Emmanuel
