Rest in Peace, sweet boy with the infectious laugh.
I remember that laugh
-sweet, innocent, but finally corrupted
You brought the joint to your lips, coughed
Smiled out of your blue eyes. blue, red.
Our first time.


"we'll lose it to each other"
but never did
Some strange connection, never amounted
What was that fondness?
God such great memories
That is, until you got popular

As we grew older,
fondness returned, yet briefly.
Promises of surprise visits
On the way, toward the beach
You are taken too soon
Promises to reconnect, broken.

I'm sorry. You will forever be missed.
