For Donavin

I want to scream to the world to remember

But I want them to see it on their own.

I want the world to need you with us

But know that you are safe at home.

I want to climb the rooftop to scream your name,

Only to get there and see others waiting to do the same.

I want your memory to be more than a fleeting thought.

I want people to look to you and get more than what they sought.

I want people to speak your name with a smile

Not turn your memory into a dated file.

I want others to say you mattered like you matter to me.

But no one will ever know, no one will see.
