Bertjenski Jamel Peterson, we met in 1998 at Alabama A&M University.
We fell in love in such a hurry.
We were only 18 years old but that didn't stop us
from letting our hearts and minds get all fluttery.
We dated for two years, which were two of
the best years in my life.
You taught me so much about love, trust and sacrifice.
Even though our relationship ended, a lovely,
long lasting friendship was just beginning.
After graduation we kept in touch
never realizing that life could end so abrupt.
I will never forget when I got the call
saying that you had been shot and you were
no longer here.
My first thought was, I hope this is a game.
I couldn't believe this special person in my
life vanished like a blown out flame.
You name kept ringing in my ears
your smile kept appearing and felt so near.
Your touch of my nose would make me smile, but
to reminisce about it would make me frown.
You always told me that to the world you may be
one person, but to one person you may be the world.
I didn't know what that meant when you would say it to
me. Now that you're gone, it is all I see and feel.
I will never understand why your life was taken
but I do know that with God, nothing can be forsaken.
God does not make mistakes, and with him is where he
wanted BJP as an angel in heaven as you were on Earth.
They say that time heals all wounds but years later
it still hurts to think of you. Now I can say that sometimes
when you cross my mind, I do smile instead of cry.
For so long I never thought the day would come I could
do that. Feeling peace with your death seemed it would
never happen. Now that is has, you can rest.
God knows how special you are to me and
I know you watch over me and keep me.
I keep in touch with your twin brother and family.
This makes me feel like you are close and in
my heart I know you.
You are always in my heart.
RIP Bertjenski Jamel Peterson
God has you in hands. No more hurt, No more sadness
This Song by Alicia Keys helps me deal...God Bless your soul
Get so caught up everyday
Tryna keep it all together
While the time it slips away
You see I know nothing last forever
Imagine there was no tomorrow
Imagine that I couldn't see your face
There would be no limit to my sorrow
So all I can say
[Chorus:]
I wanna tell you something, give you something
Show you in so many ways
'cause it would all mean nothing if I don't say something before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers, waste another hour let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you something, show you something, won't wait till it's too late
[2x] (I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait)
Just a simple conversation
Just a moment is all it takes
I wanna be there just to listen
(I wanna be here)
And I don't wanna hesitate
Imagine there was no tomorrow
Imagine that I couldn't see your face
There would be no limit to my sorrow
'cause there's nothing that could fill that space
I don't wanna put it off for too long
I didn't say all that I had to say
I wanna take my time and right the wrong before we get to that place
[Chorus]
Just lean on my shoulder,
It's not over till it's over
Don't worry about it cause
I'm gonna make sure our bond gets stronger
I don't wanna wait till the storm and something wrong and now you're gone and I can't find you
[Chorus x2]
[x4] I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
