he was the first boy to give me flowers
we were both four years old
and that's my first memory of him.

they tell me we were inseparable since birth
we were both the same age
and we played favorites.

he put his finger to my cheek
and he wiped away my tears
he brought me a blanket and we stayed up until dawn.

he told me to mentally get even with my enemies
we were both soully livid
and we suffered together.

we had a fight four years ago but we hugged it all away
that was the last time I'd seen him
but I miss him everyday.

Cole, my cousin.
Cole, my best friend.
Cole, my other half.
How can I forget?

Cole, my favorite.
Cole, my broken heart.
Cole, you died last year.
Somehow,
I forget that part.

he was the first boy I ever put my trust in.
we promised to never separate,
and that was our only promise
ever made.
