It's weird when people you knew die. Especially when you're young. I'm not terribly upset though, Death doesn't hit me like it used to, I've sort of become adjusted. But sometimes I think: I'll never run into them at the grocery store and catch up a bit, They will never get married to the love of their life, Or have children, But I might. By the time I am dying, They will barely be but a memory Deep in the brain of someone who knew them 60 years ago, Someone like me. How strange.
I can see the face, Hear the voice, But It's all in my head. I'll never see or hear it again.
