--Dit gedicht heb ik geschreven voor Vincent, een jongen die eerst een jaar ook les had op zwemmen waar ik dus ook les heb, en daarna heeft hij 4 jaar les gegeven.. ik ken hem dus al een tijdje. Een jaar geleden kwam hij steeds minder vaak omdat hij het druk had met school(ach ja, universiteit:S) en een half jaar geleden kwam hij even langs bij het zwembad om te vertellen dat hij officieel is gestopt.. Ik vind het echt jammer. Het is niet meer hetzelfde zonder hem--
It's half a year ago
We said goodbye
You told me you would visit soon
But you didn't, Why?
Maybe because of the others
Because they don't like you
But it isn't only their world
I am in it too!
They don't know you like I do
They see you as an anoying boy
Always making fun of them
Always having joy
I saw you for the first time
5 whole years ago
I thaught then what they think now
But are they right?
I say NO!
I know you better
Once I almost saw you crying
Then I tried to cheer you up
But inside I was dying
You told me all that went wrong
With your parents, with your life
And that at times like that
You wish you weren't alive
I liked you already
Before that day
But at that moment
I was sure, someway
I will never forget that day
That day you touched my soul
And now I get angry at the others
When they call you an asshole
While you're not even there!
Please remember that I am here
When you need someone to talk
And please visit us soon
Don't be bothered by the others
Just look at the moon
See how big it is
Know that there will always be
Someone who likes you
And that one will always be me
