Presence

your presence has always

flowed about me

keeping me safe in dark place

at times from myself

so glad we made peace

after butting heads over

the cool winter

i never remember the arguments

just the friendship

that survived High School

they say life happens

it does because we never

know death seems unexpected

even though it comes

never expecting to lose

you at such a young age

we never think of death

taking someone we care for away

it did taking away your dreams

your future, laughs and smiles

your presence is still with me

i like to think that you

are my personal angel
