To Us
Let’s have a cheer!
A cheers to us.
A cheers to the memories that you left behind;
To the won battles behind your smile.
Cancer was no match for your pride.
They say it’s always harder the second time round to survive.
But the true victory was in your eyes.
Being faithful, confident,
And loving me effortless.
Was a beauty to witness.
To never saying no to me,
And always being there for me..
Even when I wasn’t there for myself.
A cheers for giving me my first drink;
Even though I was only 16.
That Arbors mist took us to a new level,
I knew that I could trust you with anything.
A cheers for spending every Christmas with me,
From our carols to setting the Christmas tree.
For always telling me that everything would be okay,
while reminding me of better days.
And always promising me that the pain would go away,
Not realizing that the most painful thing is not being able to see your face.
Though your smiles I cannot forget
Every precious moment that we lived
Your friendship was my best gift
And though, our moments will be missed
Let’s have a final cheers
To us,
Someday, meeting again
Just Like You by Azmar Kemp
It’s funny how I grew up wanting to be just like you
How I wanted to be cool… just like you
How I want to stay out late… just like you
And turn up before and after the weekends.. just like you
It’s funny how I wanted to wear the same clothes as you
You know, the baggy sweatpants with the Tim’s and bandana to match?
I wanted to run the streets like you
And be brought home by the cops, just to impress you
And have bad friends… just like you
I always thought it was cool how you got into fights and ran the streets
But, somewhere between reality and your jailtime, I realized that I’m not you
I want to be successful
I want to come home early and relax
And see interesting things on the weekend
Concerts, vacations, seeing the world and finding motivations
I want to have a closet full of suits
I want to run a business
And make six figures,
So what if the cops don’t bring me home
You see, I have friends that find me cool
Friends that want to live their lives instead of spending it behind bars,
In cop cars, or somewhere lost
Lost in space and fear, trying to find yourself
But the actions that you’ve done..
Doesn’t just disappears
It’s so fascinating.. that after all these years..
Now you tell me.. You wish you could be just like me
Get an education.. just like me
Get a job.. just like me
And follow your dreams, like me
Somewhere in time we lost ourselves chasing each other..
And you just never found your way back..
Still, I’d do anything to take your place and give you a better chance in life
Its so funny how in the end, because your my closest friend, I’d give you that chance..
Yes…
To make your life better, in hopes that you’d change forever
If God granted your wish,
For us to switch,
I’d be,
Just like you.
