Does it matter who he was to me
He wasn't my lover or enemy
People was always putting him with me
Like we were destined to be together or something
It made me mad when he told me
His girl got mad when she heard about him amd me
I said that bitch is dumb do better
There is something better than this tired ass heifer
I was the ride-a-die friend like I was suppose to be
Nothing changed not even with the people we were dating
We were who we were didn't give a fuck who saw
This is was the level of our friendship
Down for one on one
Then he move to another place
His mama got a better job in another state
I told him no matter what we would still be cool
Four flats on a cadillac, way back in high school
But time went on I heard from him less and less
Summer vacation came around
I said imma spend time with my friend out of town
When I got there it different from his letters
Something was wrong I didnt know any better
He greeted me normally nothing look wrong
Until he heard the phone and caught the call
His eyes got shallow, down and faded
I asked what was wrong
His look I couldn't take it
I said we have been friends for way to long
Is that what we were
I said yes we held each other strong
He finally told me, almost made my heart race
He said the past few months I needed space
I said come on dude please tell me
He said I test positive for HIV
I almost fell down to my knees
Wondering to God why would you take him from me
The disease was way to sever
The doc said he had 4 to 6 months left to live
This was the beginning of my summer
Spending it with a friend, I'm lightening he's thunder
I never forgot those days
All the way down to putting a rose on his grave
So I say these words everybody needs to pray
Don't put off tomorrow, when your not promise today
Sincerely Yours,
PSA
