Where'd you go? (tribute to Qixing Lee)

I wrote this poem about 2 years after the passing of Qixing. It took me awhile to think of the right words to write. The night before I heard of Qixing's passing he sent me a message on MSN asking if I ever heard of the song Fort Minor - Where'd you go? and till this day I still regret not being up to respond to him. That's the reason why I added the hook of this song to this poem because it will forever be his song. So...hey Quick, i know it might not be the greatest poem from me but it's for sure the one that means the most, share it with your homies up there and I for sure do the same down here. Keep an eye on us homie...you know how I use to always get annoyed by you patting on my shoulder telling me "it's okay", you always knew something I didnt know back then that I just now know that "it's okay". Appreciate it man... i know it's been 4 years but it still seem like yesterday when were just drawing and talking about DBZ. One day man...we'll get to draw together again fam. R.I.P Quick....

Where’d you go?
I miss you so…
Seems like it’s been forever…
…since you’ve been gone
Please come back home…
It’s been so long but I still can see your smile
Still can feel that pat on my shoulder telling me “it’s okay”
When times got hard, it’s almost like you’re still here saying it’s okay
Till this day I still can hear your songs being sang off key
Hitting them high notes just so I can tell you “no”
It was them days I remembered you
Since you’ve been gone, things has changed
Xee has a beautiful baby boy, even gave him your name
Jackie…well, she’s Jackie but now with a degree
Kristin…well she’s still the same, but with that paper and making that green
I know Diana is married now and expecting, that I’m sure
Pakou is Pakou…still on that grind and living life to the fullest
And for them fellas, I’m not sure, but I’m sure that they have you in their mind
Well, as for me…things has changed
Where’d you go?
I miss you so…
Remembering that day when I got that phone call…
I paused for a minute and thought of this song
Remembered that night when you left a message on my screen…
Asking did I know this song…
I regret not seeing it ‘cause I was asleep, this quickly became your song
And I felt something wrong…then you were gone
Seems like it’s been forever……since you’ve been gone
Been a couple of years, but it feels as though it was yesterday
I was outside and you came along just to say hi
Didn’t know why you thought of me as a friend
But I’m glad you did, cause I always had respect for you now and then
Remembered when you only had a couple months left
You asked when you bought a whipp if I could help you fix it
I said sure…but you gotta come home
…you never did
Please come back home...

"I miss her" summer tribute

I wrote this poem about 2 years ago about my love for Summer. Since summer is pretty much over and fall is here, I thought I would share this poem to everyone.

--------------------------------------------------

I miss her...
I remember back in the day, when I was younger, she would treat me so good
it was like forever how she make me feel...forever...
I use to tell all my friends she was coming...and when she came
She would greet everyone with a Hi and a wave...
It was them days we would run together
say we will be here forever as long we have each other
we were so inseparable...but every year she would come and go
Some years it was earlier and some it was later
but when she came...I smile
and everyone knew she was here by the way I walked
I couldn't get her out of my mind
...cause I just remembered all them times at night...she would sing to me
show me her beauty as I gaze into her while we took them drives at night
...just so I could be with her a little longer
It was them stories that I held true...
Cause me and you...
I fell in love with you
Remembered that time we were together...it was hot and dry
I looked above and u made the whole world cry...
I couldn't believe my eyes...but I fell in love with you in that moment of time and in this moment of time...I hold you high
but every year I knew you were gone by the chill that crept down my spine cause days grew darker
...light grew shorter
...it got colder and I knew that my time with you was up...
but until next year...we will meet again
...and when we do, we'll be together...forever...
...Summer
