For Max

A Poem by dillonjensen

I'd be lying if I said I wrote this without crying through the entire thing.

I don't believe in fairies or ghosts,
And I don't believe in heaven or hell.
I don't believe in holy books,
And I don't believe in a god.
That does not change the fact that I care,
And that I will miss you.
If I could have said one last thing to you,
It would have been to tell you that;
Those who knew and loved you,
And even those who know and love you now,
Will never let you die inside of their heads,
And inside of their hearts.
You will live on vicariously through their memories.
I'm so sorry to see you go this soon,
And I am even more sorry I did not get to say goodbye.
This one is for you, buddy.

Rest easy, Max.
