Irony

I haven't seen him in I don't know how long,
But,
He was that kid,
You know,
The tall, lanky, older kid,
The kid that made those three-hour car rides to wherever, bearable,
He was that kid, to me,
But I know he wasn't perfect,
I haven't seen him in way too long,
I know he didn't die as that kid,
Just because he was taken early,
Does not automatically make him perfect,
But those memories,
That kid?
They were my version of perfect,
I never dated him,
He was never any more than a friend,
And I never wanted him to be,
But he was my first heartbreak,
How ironic.

An old friend named Issac Morey passed away. It feels so weird using his full name. This poem says it all. And I wish it said more. I wish it didn't end like it did. But it did. And uhm, he was amazing.

RIP Issac Christopher Morey. You are eternal
