Who was Ricky

I hate past tense

I couldn't grasp the reality. I didn't want to accept the facts of what I knew had to be true. I just saw him! What happened!?
I didn't...don't want this to be true. He was a good guy. That sums him up. He was just a good ole guy....you could be without seeing him for months and months but when he came back around...everything was the same. He never changed. He never dissed or hated on people. He was full of corny jokes and I can't remember a time when he wasn't smiling that great big toothy grin of his....

He roller bladed in my yard, He took me out and we were friends...He had to let me know when he was seeing his girlfriend from Idaho....He made sure I knew he was getting married to her and was so excited about going to propose to her up there.

Ricky's dream was always to get married....to find that one true girl who would love him and take care of him and build a life with him.....that is why,I suppose, he waited until after he was 30...but then he found her and now he is gone? That is so unbelievable....

I don't know what else to say. I loved him, he was a part of my life...all of my teenage years growing up. I met him through Tyson Ashworth and we just....connected. There was an everlasting friendship built that I wouldn't trade....

Those memories of him are too fond and mean so much to me. He was funny. Always funny. He gave me a book about three detectives called the Eye, the Ear and the Arm. Really good stuff.

I could go on and on...he met all my boyfriends....he was like the big brother I needed......and when I do see him again....we will be just like old times..

Ricky,
I will miss you. I already do. I love you and hate to be left with the questions 'why'. You will always be in my heart and my memories of you will always make me smile. I hope to see you again one day.

I'm hoping, in writing down your feelings for Ricky, offered you, the chance to start healing. It's hard on the heart, when that person, is closer to you than your own family. Thank you, for sharing this personal and intimate moment poem with us.
