For Aaron

Today's the day my friend

Today's the day

I see parts of myself

Disappear with you...

Today...

I see these shards

Crystalline fragments glimmer so vividly

As they fall into so many moments of time.

I am left to pick up the pieces,

Knowing they are part of something I can never repair.

Today, the only things I care about are yesterdays...

Because those were the only times that I could touch you.

That was the only time I could look you in the eye,

And bear witness to the gaze of a true friend.

I remember those whispers

I try to understand what you said
