Uinme.

Chef Knight.My sweet so dear brief we had your eyes and ears short your smiles cries tears... I remember the day you stood near. Just and outlined against the wall peering in thru air at what couldn't be. UinMe. Never told no, never said to myself so but that day before we knew, I saw your halo. "I wanna play" I heard you say, yes, I did. Torn away like a strike of a match as fast as that overnight from delight to fright, we got the call. "...sick and at the hospital..." Crashing down like waves of water colored less without your laughter deeper still the drowning thunder standing chill as they eased you under. Into Earth we returned you. Wake of Night in candles we mourned you. Under seas of shattering winds we spoke your name as they pushed aside blinds and inside the rain came. I'm sorry I never returned. So long ago but forever remains in my eyes will be the memory of our lives. I was frighten to confirm that what I saw that playful day was your SOL to slip away... I'm sorry that I never came. I just didn't want to know that I knew it again.Back then. ~My Soul, in U. .solace. .to my friend who died at 24.
