Memento Mori

I’ve been angry at you for so long, I’m not sure I could ever find enough words to describe why.

You left cold aches in places of my heart that were once filled with afternoon laughter and secrets.

My first best friends, familia.

And we may have drifted as I got busier and you got, sick…

I’d dreamed of the day we would hug and cry and celebrate surviving our youth.

But you didn’t.

And I’ll never hear your laughter again.

And I’ll never see you admiring the beauty in other people with those most genuine hearts.

Deep feelers.

They are abused by the nature of humanity…

And you were but another casualty.

I will never forget the things you taught me to see….

I miss you today.

I miss you everyday.

My first best friends, familia.
