I miss your presence and them long hugs

A minute of your pure warmth

A cure for my sad heart

I stopped singing sad songs and managed to move on

Refused to lose our love, amusing what art does

You are now forever embedded and I am indebted and you're just-

Floating through the universe, you know for you I still search

I offered you my heart from the start

When we would talk words in coffee spots and parking lots

Our feelings were concerned

But never let them show too much

Covered 'em with laughter and absurd conversation

That had made me say I loved you when I hugged you

But I didn't have to 'cause we both knew

It was something special that we had

Destiny had crossed our paths

In the past when I was acting extra

Needed grace and well you brought me that

Ironic 'cause you weren't always the most graceful (awkward laugh)

And any chance to make you smile, well I still play them back

Imagine our last pass before you passed

I saw you walking from class

So glad I caught you and had the chance

To tell you I loved you just one more time

I hugged you and you replied "I love you"

A hundred times i've replayed this scene in my mind

You know I still do

I hope you're okay

We'll make it through the night

And I hope you know your worth, family, for what it's worth, family

I lost a lot to get high but it ain't worth family

Hurts when I'm up on the 'Gram; crazy to see

Another man raising your seed and that's the worst family

Observed standing afar; correct me, 'cause I ain't just dissing

You became addicted when we gained some distance

Did our shaky friendship get you wavy like a lake with fishes

Or is it your pops passing got you faded like a favorite kick is?

I paint this with the sacred memories of us playing chicken

Which is crazy thinking

Had whips quickly changing lanes they driv'in

Wrestling fake, you're pinning me- but today it's different

Your face is thin and missing weight like us late to fitness

Grades were switching which made you say

"Nick, I can't wait to finish

This grade, I may just dip and pick a trade, our favorites did it"

I made us sit- I studied with you for the latest quizzes

And you ain't get an A, but hey, you did it

Dropped out later

Last we spoke was Wawa; crazy twitches by them pastry dishes

Cakes and fixings reminiscent to our days as kids and

Next time I see you, I'll say, "hey, I miss you

And "I hope you're okay" (I hope you're okay)

And when my day comes

Well, I'll be by your side (I'll be by your side)

Thank you all for showing love

Thank you more for showing up
