We played together on South Drive and Wingate Road.
Hockey on the frozen creek, ball in the street.
We fought each other as kids and together as men.
Those of us who were left behind
remember.

You were then, you are now, and you always will be the love of my life. I miss you so much, but I know we will be together again someday. Until then, sleep peacefully knowing you are not forgotten.
