I know you tried to put it in stanza's, but its more like this:
(SOMEWHAT like this)
I once had a friend.
He moved away.
I remember swinging on the tire swing with him in kindergarten.
We had some memories.
I remember the day his daddy beat him,he told me.
We got through it together.
We had some memories.
I remember the day we swam in the creek,splashing around.
We had some memories.
I remember when you didn't come to school that day.
I had some memories.
I remember the day turned into a week,and you finally showed.
You were bruised and hurting.
We had some memories.
I remember your funeral.
I was crying.
Then I took a look at your short life with me.
I smiled and thought,we had some memories.
You moved to Heaven and someday I will be there with you.
