My Friend

It would have been his birthday today
He would have been 18
Me and him were inseparable
We did everything together,
It was a Friday night and he asked me to hang out
But I lied to him and told him I had to go to my grand parent’s house
He said, "Alright, well I’ll see you tomorrow for some basketball"
I said, "Oh yea definitely"
But when I hung up that phone
I didn’t think that would have been the last time I heard his voice
I was out with a friend of mine that night
When I got a call from his mom saying he’s gone
I said, "What do you mean" Kenny’s gone
He went out for a drive and was hit head on by a drunken driver
I later found out that the driver of the car
Was my girlfriend on her way back from a party
She promised me she wouldn’t go to it
And because of a lie my friend was killed
If I would have just hung with him I would have never lost a friend
Not to mention a brother...
