I didn't know anything
you so suddenly left
never even getting
another chance to speak
I wanted to hear your laugh
but instead I sit and cry
wishing I could see you
waiting for the emptiness
to just go away
Like a leaf blowing
no one hears its cry
it is just a simple
lackluster leaf
Holding hands
now that's a feeling
it is warm and always new
the sensation and memory
It remains the same
yet the feeling changes
the swirling, warm feeling
it never feels out of place
I remember little
but have some vivid
very long lasting memories
you were so nice
Summer breezes and fireflies
whistling and watching
stars appear in our eyes
as we gaze into the campfire
I remember the taste of mint
the laughs and gelatin snacks
movies with each other
and especially, holding hands.

This is for my uncle David. He might've not been with me long, but I remember him fondly and hope he finds his way into the sky. Fly high man, fly far.
