Just Like Heaven-Cure

My cousin passed away
He was 10 years older than I am
and when he was 20...
I had the BIGGEST crush on him

He rode a motorcycle
and was into old cars
and in a band...all in the past

...never married, no kids

We had his wake
at my home last night
almost 100 people came

and the picture boards that filled the house
with flowers at their side

reminded me of
time gone by...

...way too much
time

There were friends of his
and relatives
...many people that I did not know

but I did not mind
a houseful
of smiles
and...
stories

He lived his last 3 years
with a brain tumor
...with dreams of overcoming it...

Now he is My Dream

"You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream..."
-Cure

    "No longer mourn for me when I am dead than you shall hear the surly bell give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world,with vilest worms to dwell:Nay if you read this line,remember not the hand that writ it; for I love you so that I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,If thinking on me should make you woe. O,if I say,you look upon this verse WhenI perhaps compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse, But let your love even with my life decay, Lest the wise world should look into your moan, And mock you with me after I am gone." - Shakespeare (Beautiful..but easier said than done.)
