    I just lost a friend in a motorcycle accident yesterday and I was right behind him riding and I saw everything happen and it replays in my head every single second and I heard him take his last breath and I still don’t know what I could have done more...he was my best friend from freshman year and we were gonna start our senior year...I will forever ride for him...
