So sad, such an early loss; you've painted the scene well with words; I can feel the emotion.

I think it is more difficult to lose someone in their youth in knowing what might have been for them. You capture that grief well in this beautiful Tanka Kim. xxoo

Green and rosy. Classic color combination. Color of tragedy, in this case.

And I was in high school. Not until later did it hit me how young he was.
