I remember riding the bus
Sitting in the back
Holding hands
Dreaming dreams
Teenagers in love

The romance withered
Friendship grew strong
Following destiny's path
You were a military brat
I just a simple farm boy

I dropped out, married
Naval acadamy called you
The school of hard knocks
The school of officers
Time and distance, seperate

I woke up this morning
To my usual mess
Tripping on toys, ouch
I go to work, do my job
Listen to the radio

The events unfold
Horrors. terrorism
I turn on the tube
and watch in disbelief
Numb

Three days later
E-mail arrives
From a mutual friend
You proudly served,
Untimely died

I remember riding the bus
Sitting in the back
Holding hands
Dreaming dreams
Teenagers in love

loss

Lives interrupted ~ then his presence vanishs away like a vapor. A Love lost never again to be found.

A fallen friend...
