William Part 2
In order to understand , you should go to the poem "William part 1 "
Your back ..I thank you ! I know many disagree with the love one may choose to have with same sex , I ask you this time ..try and see past .
I lost contact with William for a long time .
Once going to the blues fest amongst hundreds in Line, for the porta potty
The sign said "vacant " I opened the door , It was William who thankfully was dressed !
We Laughed and had fun , something different though he had become .
He told me he fell in love with a Man , he said the man was Hiv positive and so was he . They used no Protection in Intimacy. What William did not understand , the man he loved dearly, had full blown Aids , William died soon , as he contracted a higher grade of the Virus . He died within one year .
I did not know of Williams demise, Until My Brother showed up with a friend at my door .
My Brother asked if they could come in , The friend he had with him lost his Brother .
It did not take long when I poured him a drink , he talked about William his Brother , that is when I began to think.
That was when I knew ..The Brother that he spoke of whom died so suddenly , was William .
With a wish to his Brother , please if it's the last thing you do , Find my friend, "the Platinum Blonde " tell her , I will always love her, he in death , had forgotten my name , it was the love he remembered ..the love stayed the same .
The man said he looked for many months and gave up , distraught he could not find This friend ,as he promised his brother on his death bed.
My Face turned white , as I saw the resemblance ..I put the two together .
It was a message Heaven sent . He too then realized , The Angel of William sent him right to the door of my home that cold , rainy , night.
This is for My beautiful friend , Never have I met one like you, with so much Life .
I miss him and to this day he will not be forgotten . I love you too .
always , your Platinum Blonde .
