I never knew

That your last good-bye

Would be on Christmas Day

Your last 'I love you'

Would be through a Facebook messgae

I never knew

That I would lose you.

I miss your fantastic green eyes

And your amazing laugh and smile.

I miss your hugs that made me happy

And your stupid jokes that made me chuckle.

I never knew

That your last breath would be 12 days after your birthday

I thought you would graduate

Get your dream job

And have a family

But I thought wrong.

You're now a millions of miles away

From home

And you can't come back

You never will

Because you can't.

You're in a better place

From this disgusting place

I call home.

All I have are pictures

And the memories saved in my head.

But they're slowly fading away...

I never knew

That I would lose you.
