Hey Remember When?

Hey remember when the leaves were full and the summer young?

Back when we were innocent and fun loving?

When our future was as bright as the summer sun?

Back when we could do or have whatever we wanted?

When we had a close circle of friends that seemed endless?

When we had a loving and trusting family?

I don’t know about you but I Remember

I also remember the night our lives changed

Not for the better

Boys Boys Boys

All we could think about.

Their smell their touch

Their taste

Their parts..

We had a memorable night by the beach

My first

Your last

Jack and Tom

Good boys from good families

I shouldn’t have let you go

I was stupid I was studying infectious diseases

I should have seen the signs

I shouldn’t have let you go

But I didn’t see the signs I didn’t know

that Tom had Meningitis

Why was I so drunk!?/

Why didn’t I see it?

He kept throwing up

We thought he was drunk

He hated the lights in my car made me turn them off

God why didn’t I notice!

I didn’t know

You didn’t know

Jill didn’t know

Becca didn’t

Sam didn’t

Nicole didn’t

Alison didn’t

Laura didn’t

You’re all gone. Just like that

How?

Meningitis

24 hour killer

One day you are there planning your junior year schedule

Or your birthday party

Your sisters surprise party

The next marching band activity

Next prank to pull

Next thing to draw

Next thing to write

Tom got around our group

And never gave a thought to anyone he was hurting

I don’t think he knew

Or didn’t care

Either way

I lost everyone I cared for

They didn’t know till they were gone

I lost you

Why did I let you go!

Hey remember when you told me that your neck hurt?

And then I gave you asprin and you vomited?

So I took you to your bed turned out the light

You said it hurt your eyes

And I turned off the light and left you all alone

And you died

I never saw you again

You probably don’t remember

But I do.

I can’t ever forget
