Grief

I wept when I heard of your passing, couldn't stop 

A young intelligent soul gone just like that, was a pity 

Why wasn't it me instead?

You came into my dreams one night when I thought I had forgotten

Made me reminisce about you again

And recall your existence once more

Vividly enough to etch your memories in my mind 

Enough to scar your name against my skin

I hope to remember you despite the distance

And yet is it wrong for me to want to be able to let go and move on...
