Don't remember the day we met but you were one of the first to come over and say hi. Was somewhat introverted back then yet every time I was around you I felt as if my old self was slowly coming back out, wasn't as nervous about talking to others without them having to approach me. Even started making jokes and being outgoing again without my anxiety acting up after meeting you a few times. You were a silly dude but always put a smile on someones face, even helped out others when ever they needed it.
Out of all the folks I've met in met life you were the one of the few who slowly melted away this frozen soul that lost its joy years ago without even knowing it. Leaving only warmth. Though you're gone I feel as if you're right beside me, still bringing joy to my heart and pushing me to better my self. I'll carry this fire with me for the rest of my life. I'll miss you bro, thank you for being my friend.
With love,
Derrell
