And Now I Remember..

Today, I remembered.
His face, his smile, and his light.
And I didn't want to.
He could turn around a day and I
wanted to be just like him.
I can't say that anymore
or they'll cry.
He seemed
so happy.
So putogether and alive.
But I didn't know.
I was young, wasn't I?
But I knew something inside him
was as big as you or I.
His heart and his love and...
Why didn't anyone reach out?
I cried that day but
I don't think I knew him as well as I could.
I didn't.
My mistake now unfixable.
We tried didn't we? Or at least they did.
But he was so far away.
So distant in himself.
I thought he had so much joy but,
I was wrong.
And now he's gone
forever.
