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 |
