At first I didn't know you that much,

You were in the class above,

You kept pretty quiet,

Silent like a dove,

Then news of your brain tumor,

Swept across the school,

You were moved to the class below,

Where nobody knew you,

You had no friends,

And you thought it was the end,

Never even knowing,

I was round the bend,

Then you found me,

We became tight,

You told me your wrongs,

I told you my rights,

Secrets were secrets,

Never to be told,

I thought we could be friends,

Even when we're grey an old,

Then primary ended,

Secondary here we come,

We both were prepared,

Even if we were dumb,

And what luck to be in the same group,

In secondary it seemed our lessons were on loop!,

Them you stopped coming,

Your brain tumor got worse,

And that day,

I always curse,

You lay in your coffin,

Me crying in back row,

And I feel like,

Nobody else knows,

Now your up there,

Up in Heaven,
