letting you go
I give a thank you to all of your
 Love, willfulness and smiles
 Your change rattling in my pockets
 Your smell of hospital and church lingered even after we left
 Thanks for watching CSI
 And getting its plot
 For letting, us eat your ice cream
 Driving you crazy in your basement screaming
 For five years, I’ve known the nice you
 I thank you
 I still hear you laugh, delicate and small
 A flower I keep close to my heart
 I forgive and forget all the things before
 I shall now and forever let you go
 
 In your room 
 Too young to let go I cry
 At 16 too young to die
 Heart failure, seizure
 No one tells me why 
 So for now I thank you in oblivion
 Your Nintendo 64 and letting us play with you toys
 I dare not look into your casket 
 Neither mine eyes nor my heart
 Would be able to bear it
 I have never forgiven you for leaving me until now
 With only one year of memories, I keep you in my heart
 So I forgive but never forget our times
 I shall now and forever let you go.
