Nobody understood

There was nothing that you wouldn\'t do for me.
Whenever we talked we both were free.

Nobody understood what our relationship was all about.
That we had each other’s backs without a doubt.

Growing up you were the outcast of the family.
Because of the differing beliefs, eye-to-eye you couldn\'t see.

I was the other child who didn’t follow the beliefs,
But I kept quiet until I started on my own leaf.

I looked up to you because you were real.
You were the only one I could tell how I feel.

We were more than just cousins, we became close friends.
And now that your gone the family wishes they had made amends.

Why were they so judgmental, why couldn’t they just see?
That being yourself is all that you could ever be.

They kept trying to mold you into something you weren’t.
What they didn’t realize is all of your esteem they had burnt.

Why you took your own life I will never understand.
You always had me by your side to hold your hand.

But I want you to know that I am still here for you.
And that I miss you and I love you too.
