Remembering Tyler.

I remember you in New York city
Standing all bloody and bruised
Silly me wanted to kiss it better
My that would have kept you amused

I remember you drinking your coffee
Talking of toothbrushes to sell
Smiling and talking in your open check shirt
A relief from your tormented hell

I remember you carrying the bed roll
For Caroline's overnight stay
You played the best older brother
In your own inimitable way.

I remember you wearing the navy blue suit
You looked so handsome and hot
Arguing baseball with your up-tight dad
Then him making you lose the plot.

I remember you in New York city
In the summer of 2009
Your role of Tyler will forever be
Instilled in me for all time.
