Most 21st birthdays are celebrated, with big do's and venue parties
Our Ryan's 21st was his funeral

I always thought we had all the time in the world
I always thought it was going to be us against all the rules
I always knew you were the most beautiful of jewels
Forevermore I'll hold onto all those memories
All those beautiful stories

I remember the day you were a hero in my eyes
And if I was to say you weren't anymore that would be lie
It's been a long hard road without you by my side

Hope you were proud with my exam results this year
Seeing you not here
Must have been my biggest fear
Here's to the most inspiring and supportive brother anyone could have ever wished for
Here's to the sweetest and most treasureable friend
the one with the contagious smile

It's empty, and cold without you here
please just stay for a while
If only crying an ocean would bring you back
If only we got to keep our angel here on earth
We all saw your love for music and media
I always looked up to you and wanted to be just like ya
I hope your half as proud of me as I am of you Ryan
hope you're guarding us, hope you're smiling right above us
Because sometimes hope is all you have.

Seize the day.
