This is dedicated to my aunt, Irma Ferrer
January 12, 1970-October 25, 1983
You were my best friend for six years of my life
You would always protect me from everything
I remember the time in Central Park
When I got into my first fight
I must have been three at the time
And I threw sand in that kid's eyes
And we laughed about it
I remember when we went to Disney World with my mom
And the pictures we took on the monorail
And on the teacup ride
And It's A Small World
I also remember
How you were so into Menudo back then
But that's where the memories stop
Because you were taken from me...taken from us
Way too soon
I remember that day you were supposed to pick me up from school
And I knew something was wrong when you didn't show up
And I cried because I thought I was gonna get kidnapped
But fear kept me frozen in place
My neighbors took me to their house
Then my madrina picked me up
She took me to school the next day
And Tia Carmen picked me up
Telling me we had to say goodbye to you
I didn't know what she meant
She took me to the church where I saw you
You looked beautiful and I thought you were asleep
But in the back of my head, I knew I'd never see you again
I never really understood what heaven was until I was 8
And I had a dream that you had wings and you flew away from me
But instead of being happy you were in a better place
I have been consumed with anger over you being taken away
Over the way your death tore our family apart
Only now the mending has begun for them
But for me, the pain remains
Until I see you again
Only then will I be whole again
