Thoughts of You

This is a poem about a boy who was killed in a car crash.

I close my eyes
and see you
I think back to the good times
before the wreck
that took your life
but, my thoughts drift back to
that day
frantic phone calls
a million text messages
word travels fast in the small
town you called home

I think back to
the last time I saw you
playing basketball
you were so happy
now it brings tears to my eyes
and my thoughts drift to
everyone crying at your funeral
but what I want to remember
hurts
so
much
