Dear Dorian.

It has been 10 years.

I still haven’t forgotten about you.

None  could resist the love and joy you brought in.

    You were my first laugh, my first joy,  my first friend.

    To 8 year old me, you were my everything.

    Now you’re The reason I stay strong, until my final bell rings.

It has been 10 years.

I still haven’t forgotten about you.

    Everyday I push on,

    The years have been hard.

    I was only 8, and ever since

    My heart holds a huge scar.

    That only you could heal;

    A heart only  you could mend.

    But everyday I will continue to pretend.

It has been 10 years.

I still haven’t forgotten about you.

    It has been difficult without you.

I want everyone to be you.

Unlike you, no one else seems to stay true.

You never turned your back;

Never walk away. But youre gone now.

And these prices I  have to pay. But,

It has been 10 years.

I still haven’t forgotten about you.

    My love for you was so great,

my heart melts for you til the dusk of day.

The night has lived since you have been away,

Laughed, loved 'til day's dawn.

Your beauty was great,

Wandering mind 'til you see,

living is all I do,

Its been 10 years.

But I still haven’t forgotten about you.

I did not go to your funeral.

My 8 year old heart could not take it.

10 years later,

My heart is still aching.

I did not see you;

your last day on earth.

Instead I sat in a closet,

Having wonders of life’s worth.

Deep into that darkness only,

On that day my soul grew lonely.

It has been 10 years.

I still haven’t forgotten about you.

I regret everyday

For refusing to come.

The news too devastating for my ears;

Like a horrible strum.

I miss you everyday, Dorian.

No words can compare.

When you left this world,

My joy was exchanged for despair.

Dorian, the one friend that always stayed true...

It has been 10 years.

And I still haven’t forgotten about you.

Love,

    JALIN.
