This is a tribute to my dear, departed brother, Kyle Heffley.
                                                                                                              6-16-07
This is about my oldest brother, Kyle. He died when he was 9 years old in a drowning accident. I was 10 months old at the time, so I didn't get a chance to get to know him like everyone else in my family did, but I have always felt his presence.
I've always felt close to him, even though he's gone. He has always watched over me, just as a big brother should. I love him very much.

                                                   
                                                      R.I.P.





I laid myself across your grave
And I cried, because you were taken
Before I had a chance to memorize your face

I don't remember the way you laughed
It was too soon, when you left
Now all I have are empty photographs

I don't remember you
But I still love you
You were the only thing that kept me from destroying myself
You picked me up every time I fell
My love for you only grows with time
So rest in peace, and wait for me on the other side

You protect me everywhere, even if it's inside myself
Your love is unlike anything I've ever felt
You'd follow me anywhere, even into the deepest pits of Hell

I long to feel your arms around me
To feel your love surround me
Must I only see you in my dreams?


I can't wait til I see you
Smiling at me, so lovingly
I wish I could tell you
How much you've meant to me
