Don't Forget About Me

When the light turned to green, I almost crossed, so close

But then someone told me “No, don’t go.”

I looked to my right and there I saw him

The friend who was more, through thick and thin

When I looked back at the street, I saw a motorcycle speed

Right through the red light; it would’ve run over me

Then I remembered what happened a year ago

When he was run over by a motorcycle

We were biking around, and at those same streets

After the light color changed his pedals hit his feet

He started to cross the street, but didn’t get very far

Because before he could I saw him get hit hard

At first I thought to myself, he’s ok

But then I realized that today was his last day

I remember his last words that he said to me

He said “Baby please, don’t forget about me.”

How could I ever forget someone so kind?

So sweet, so nice, so young, so wise?

He didn’t deserve to die like he did

But everything happens for a reason they said

I’ll never forget him, he holds a special place

Deep in my heart, never to be erased

I’ll love him forever even if he can’t be with me

But when I’m with him, happy we will be

Enjoy what you got while you have it, just in case

You won’t have it tomorrow, it’ll be too late

Life like today is your last day to live

Make new memories, give all the love you can give

This is so sweet and sad. I see benifits to the long and short ending, keep what feels right to you. Great write!

Definitely keep the long ending! This piece gave me chills. Unfortunately I can relate to your writing. I lost my brother in a car accident and ever since I see life as something that is not promised so we need to live life the best way we can. Enjoying every minute and living for today and not yesterday or tomorrow. This poem is amazing! And the long ending is the perfect way to end it! Thank you for sharing! Great piece!
