Too Bad

I remember how we used to play,
All those funny things we would say.
You could not walk,
And you could not talk.
I used to go over after school.
And act like a fool.
You are still in my heart,
And we shall not be very far apart.
But because you are far,
You are my shining star.
I remember I was only three,
And was sad you'd no longer be with me.
By the time you were already eight,
I had already lost to fate.
I remember your lifeless body.
I did not know what was going on.
Then I finally realized you were gone.
I sometimes ask myself, "Why?"
Then I start to cry.
