Leave out all the rest. A song that really can't be used in this situation. It could have been used, but it says 'when my time comes'

The way I see it, your time never came. You ended your life before your time here really ended.

I thought about the Matilda auditions today. Remember the silent fall?

I wish I could show you the camera footage because I pinky promise that I tripped on a table leg and didn't just sit down.

I didn't fall. My shirt fell. I just happened to be in it.

Yes, it was quiet. That's probably because I fall a lot. We know this. I just happened to end up criss cross.

Your face that day is definitely a reason to be missed. You looked so genuinely horrified at the fact that I apparently didn't want to dance. I did. I just fell.

I remember in suessified. You would hug anyone and everyone. That shocked me the first time. I like hugs, yeah, but I had never really gotten one from someone I just met.

You would never let go first. Never. I think maybe you couldn't. The thing is that it works out great when you have two people like that.

I remember when I saw you at a Robin Hood tech practice. When I tell you I was so excited to see my big brother... good lord.

Nobody told us you were going to be there. I was so happy.

I remember in Charlotte's web, we laughed so hard together that we managed to knock down the gate. I also remember that you were the one who made me laugh onstage about my line.

I don't really think it's a good idea to start laughing when you're telling someone they're fixing to die in front of a group of second graders.

And what about frozen apples? Yeah, why don't you just change up your lines so you can point out that little mistake?

If you've ever done any wrong, I forgot it the moment it happened. You are my big brother. My role model. You never needed any help leaving behind reasons to be missed.

I love you so much, big brother.

Leave out all the rest.
