Remember when?

my friend Mikel died a few days ago, i'm reading this at his funeral

Remember when?

Remember when
we played together
through calm
and stormy weather?

Remember when
we fought together
like brother and sister
when i didn't get my way?

remember when
we hated each other?
When we loved each other?

Remember when
you fell in love
and i almost fell for you?

hey Mikel,
remember when
you died?

remember when
at the hospital
i cried and asked
you why?

and there was
no possible way
you could answer?

remember when
they put 6 ft
under the ground?

remember when
they closed you
in your new bed
forever?

Remember?
