I don’t want you scarred,
I don’t want you to never heal from this.
I want you to live,
I want you to go on.
Know that I won’t forget, and know that
          one day,
                    I’ll come back.

Don’t ever stop laughing.
Your smile and joyous trill of a laugh
always managed to make my day brighter.
Don’t ever stop dancing.
The way you always moved your body
even if there was no music playing.
Don’t ever stop drawing.
Your mastery makes me jealous
how your lines flow and blend so easily.
Don’t ever stop writing.
The cogitations of your mind are unlike
anyone else’s I’ve ever seen.
Don’t ever stop thinking.
Your intelligence astounds me,
and it amazes me to think of what you’ll be.
Don’t ever stop loving.
To me, your love was everything,
and I want more than anything to always have that,
Yet I have to accept the fact that I may not.
I will do what I can, and hope that you do the same.

Don’t ever be anyone other than yourself.
