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.
