Dedicated to Kyle Anthony

I do not own this song or drawing/cover.

Sometimes things come to an end

Without explanation.

Sometimes you wake up

And feel alive for the first time

In a while.

But it never lasts for long,

Your mind wonders off

To those moments

Where you wanted to say more

But instead just dozed off

Into “what if” thoughts.

Other times you remember

The moments that brought you joy,

The moments you opened the door

And heard the bell ring.

“Hey Marie,” still rings in your head

You can still hear his voice

And see his hand wave at you.

His voice always seemed get rid

Of any anxiety you had.

Sometimes you still hear his laugh

As he would lean back

And try to keep his balance.

Other times you wait around

For a text or a call

To affirm he’s still around.

That’s when you ask yourself,

“What were you thinking

In that moment?”

“What was your last thought?”

And as you sit here

Writing this poem

It pains you to know

That it came to this.

That this is the reality now,

The reality that you never

Thought would ever come.

Even though you spend days

Trying to ignore it,

It still scratches the back of your mind.

“Never change yourself for anyone”

Still rings in ears,

As he continue to express

How unique you were.

That moment never seemed

To go away,

You keep thinking

What if I could have just said

“Thank you,

Thank you, Kyle”?

And it plays in your head

Day in and day out,

You think about the last time

You looked into his eyes

And told him goodbye

“I’ll see you in two weeks!”

You think what if I could have

Just hugged him

And held him tight

Before it was his time to go?

What if…?
