Gone Too Soon.

Where are you? What are you doing? Can you see from where you are, how we're coping, what we're feeling and doing everyday? I'm sure you're in a better place, away from sorrows, away from pain. Like you said, it should be a paradise, some place that you'll be in love with.

I miss you. How could I not, when I passed by places we've frequent for the past few weeks that I'm back? How could I not, when I will always think of you whenever I head out or go back home because you live just right across the street? Your huge grin will always be stuck in my head, just like how you did when you said your last goodbye to me that very night.

Should've gone up to give you a hug, before we bade goodbye. There're so many "should-haves" and "could-haves" going on through my mind, and I still cannot come to accept the this cruel fact. You taught me to cherish the people in my life, and I hope I won't disappoint you. You taught me to look at the positive side no matter what happened, you brought me out of the hell-hole I was in in July. You showed me what a big heart could do to touch people, & I hope I could carry on this legacy of yours. You showed me how being playful at times brighten up someone's life, and how serious you could be at times that I could trust you with my small little secrets.

Almost 10 years since I knew you, and not one time we meet you didn't make fun of me. I miss having you tease me; I've been so used to it. I like how you always have something funny going on in your mind, and random ideas just start to sprout out. I like it when you pester me to drive you around and send you to school or places, and how you'd grin and say thank you before leaving the car.

I miss you, & I'm keeping you here, safe close to my heart. You won't be forgotten, I promise. I won't join you too soon my friends, I've got to finish up the things I want to do, and go to places we wanted to go. I remember your dreams, and I remember telling you mine. I will go all out to fulfill them, and I bet you'll be looking down and smiling from where you're from.

Happy Birthday my little brother. One year from now, I'll play the uke for you to show that I've won our bet. :')

Sing with the angels, and have fun. You've touched many lives, it's time for you to enjoy.
