Remembering Sean

There was a boy named Sean that I loved. He had sea green eyes and long dark blonde hair. We came from different backgrounds. He was a white boy from Canada and I was a black girl from The Bronx. A shared love of Star Wars brought us together. At 15 and 16 we pledged to be forever friends. We dreamed of setting the world on fire with our shared talents of acting, music and writing.

Some dreams don't come true as much as you want them too. Last night I got horrible news that my Sean had died of an overdose of drugs. Today is my birthday. And my beautiful Sean is gone. There are no words to describe how I feel right now. The last time we talked was a month ago. A month ago!!! Now, he's gone.

If there are people in your life who you haven't talked to, call or write them. Tell them again you love them. Life is precious.

This song is for you, Sean. I will never forget you. I will remember you forever.




Lyrics for Remember:

Remember, I will still be here,
As long as you hold me, in your memory

Remember, when your dreams have ended,
Time can be transcended,
Just remember me

I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly,
It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun

I'm with you,
Whenever you tell,
My story,
For I am all I've done

Remember, I will still be here,
As long as you hold me, in your memory,
Remember me

I am that one voice, in the cold wind,
That whispers,
And if you listen, you'll hear me call across the sky

As long as,
I still can reach out, and touch you,
Then I will never die

Remember, I'll never leave you,
If you will only,
Remember me

Remember me...

Remember, I will still be here,
As long as you hold me,
In your memory

Remember,
When your dreams have ended,
Time can be transcended,
I live forever,
Remember me

Remember me,
Remember... me...
