This poem is about my friend Dickie who died a couple years ago from a horrible asthma attack, sometimes it seems that i forget he is gone and won't come back..but i know he's here.

Hey, you're the only one I can talk to
I know you so well
You're the only one who listens
And the only one who cares.
I can talk to you at any time
No doubt, you'll always be my friend.
Although you never answer me
I know you hear me
And thats all i need.

Today bud, I went and saw your grave
Just the thought of it,
I couldn't help but to turn away
Sorry man, feelings these feelings make me feel ashamed,
But not of you,
Of me, for there was
Nothing I could do.
I didn't know you
Was gonna leave that night
If I knew it
I would have done something right.
Instead, I feel like as friend
I failed
Cause you died, your life shouldn't have had to end
Things just haven't been the same since
Will they ever again?
I know some of my life died that night
That night when your life could no longer bend

I took a few flowers and put them on your stone
I hope you like them
I got them from the garden, from where they grow
Three different types
Three different colors
Even those can't show how much I care,
But I hope you like smelling them
As the sent rises up into the air,
Onto the clouds,
To where you sit, run, and play
A place I hope to go
A place I hope to stay
. I'll see ya sometime man
Although not to be rude,
I hope its no time soon
But when I do,
It can be like old times,
All my dogs will be there too!
We can play football,
and we wouldn't half to stop because its dark,
We could play forever or until our moms call.
It will be great man,
Atleast I have something to look forward to
after this life
I guess you know though
i've tried to be with you, not once but twice.
So until I see you in person,
Or until I die
I'll just go to the grave, by the ground
To where you lye.
