Rest in peace my friend, we will always remember you

Today a friend of mine died.
This entry is dedicated to him.

He wasn't an ordinary friend,
He was like a brother.

Don't ask me how he died,
For I will tell you how he lived.

A brave adventurous soul in the seas of danger,
seeking the question of his existence.
To me my friend, it was redundant,
if not for you, I wouldn't be me.
If you weren't born,
the world would be the way it is.
You claimed you were a good for nothing your whole life,
but without you my life would be nothing.

Your persistence to fight this world,
To not give up in the face of crisis.
It inspired us, didn't you know?

The memories you left behind.
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.

Goodbye my friend.
Goodbye my brother.
It was nice knowing you.
May you rest in piece...
