Weight of Words

Just Mitch

I find a little bit of you in everything I do.
Sometimes that song comes on
and I instantly smile at the thought of you.

You were taken from this world so young
The accident still fresh in my mind
like an old film that still runs.

You were a light in the darkness.
To lose a great friend like you was
painful, just madness.

I almost wasn't able to return to school.
Couldn't stop my crying,
I know you'd have told me to stop acting like a fool.

It's been what seems unreal twenty years now.
Still reminisce of you throughout our little town.

"Just Mitch" I wonder who you'd be today.
When I drive passed the spot,
where you were taken away.

Happy Birthday, Mitch.
You're missed. 💙
