In loving memory of Laura Tomlinson, my friend who lost her life on 27th Feb 2004 after getting into a car to warm up, she got in with 2 other friends, Heather and Monkey, plus the driver. He started driving unsafely and collided with another car killing Laura, Heather and injuring Monkey, the driver escaped unharmed. Laura and Heather were 13years old, the same as me, I love and miss them dearly. R.I.P.

Friend To Remember

She is a friend to remember,a friend we love so much.The memory runs through my mindof the last time we touched.She lived a life of happiness,a life filled with love.And from one little mistake she looksdown on us from up above.She was always there to make youlaugh when your day was going wrong.Where was she the day where wehad to say "so long?"Why did it have to endthis way in so much pain?Since she left this world, things havenever been the same.I can no longer look forward totomorrows anymore,because I know that they will neverbe the way they were before.Not seeing her face,not hearing her voice.I wish there couldhave been some choice.Life can begin and end so fast.The memory of  Laura will always last.I wish there was some wayI could have said goodbye.The thought of her runs throughmy head as I look up to the sky.Knowing she is looking down on uswith a smile on her face,remembering the life she lived beforeshe left this place.If her life didn't end so quickshe would have gotten far.Only if she had chosennot to get into that car.So as I end this poem I want youto remember this:Live your life to the fullestbecause it could end real fast.Base your life on the future,but keep memories of the pastWe miss you Laura, RIP.

Missing You

Love and miss you always, Laura.Laura,I don't know what to do,I don't know what to say,I do know I need you here,with me night and day.I close my eyes at night...and guess what I see?I see your big, bright smileshining down on me.I know you're here with mefor now and forevermore,but still I ask myself:God, what did you take her for?I can't quit thinking of you;I think I'm going insane.I wish you were here with me,I know you could ease my pain.I must keep saying to myself:You're in God's arms now,and I know in my heartI'll see you someday, somehow.I'm going to miss you,with each passing day.I feel you with meand you can hear me say:I miss you, I love you,and I want you here.I need you, I see you,and I feel a tear.I guess I better close this now,it's breaking up my heart.I know you'll always be inside of me,and we will never part.I'll remember everything about youas the tears flood my sight...But I'll mostly remember the good times,so I'll see you again when we reunite.Be Missing You,Caz

A Friend That Will Never be Forgotten

Its so hard to let go of what we had the happy time the sad timesthe smiles and the cries.I sit here alone in the darktrying to understand the reasonwhy you left us all behindI still remember the daywhen my best friendpassed awayIt was the saddest daythe pain and the tearjust wouldn't go awayIts still very hard to believethat our friend had to leaveWe'll never know the reasonof why she had to goBut you will never be forgotten Cindyyour beautiful face and smilewill forever stay in our hearts.

One day everything would seem rightThen like that you were outta sightLeft me here in this world all aloneYour voice I heard last on the phoneI miss your smiling face each dayI need help but is there a wayAll I want is to see you and be able to say GOODBYEBut the impossible would only make me crySo I send you all my love from withinThis time do I win

A Solitary Soul

Somethings End UnexpectedlyWhen it happened,Everything ended,It was like armegedon,My world was over,Nothing will ever be the same,My only friend is gone,No longer with us,Never again will they be.I will one day see her soon,Life doesn't last that long,Now I know that,It was unexpected,Life will end,Now I am aware of that,Before I never wasn't
