Poem read out at Cameron's funeral from a lovely friend.

Through my eyes
Although I shared my life with you, my world was far apart
Emotions I can’t understand, can’t say what’s in my heart
My brain, it worked quite differently, made life hard to understand
But I know you did your best for me, were there to hold my hand
My words were very literal, I would say just what I see
I didn’t mean to cause offence, this condition’s part of me
I found it hard to understand the world that you all know
That’s why when things felt difficult I didn’t know where to go
My guitar became my friend, a way to show the way I feel
I’d lose myself in music, forget all that was real
Zoe was my freedom, she accepted me for me
With her, sat at the viewpoint was my favourite place to be
I loved to watch the sunset, feel the breeze run through my hair
That was how I found my peace, to sit without a care
My family stood beside me, through the good times and the bad
It wasn’t easy growing up, I was a troubled lad
But I’m thankful for your patience, for your love and hard work too
Please understand that this was not because of you
To George and Jamie my brothers, please don’t mourn or think of the past
Just remember me in the songs you play on your stereo’s full blast
To my family and friends who are gathered here today
Please don’t feel guilt or anger when you think of me and pray
You may feel sad when you think of a future not to be
My path was not easy, it was tough being me
So when you look at the stars, shining in the sky
That is me, finally free, so there’s no need to cry
Sleep tight Cameron
All my love
