I didn't know you but I admire you
Chance never taken
We've existed in the same space before
Words never spoken
My friends were your friends
Names never exchanged
I learned your plans, our paths may have crosses
Hands never shaken
I know those who wear your name, always
And those who mention you often
I think throughout all, about who would have been,
could have been
Now a hero, to those who remember, who care, who know
Even if the chance to know has passed
