You go on living.

Suddenly, 

there comes a day 

that jolts you to wake up. 

You start to look 

at the world differently. 

Your reality changes. 

Time halts. 

You sit stupefied. 

Memories form a whirlpool,

you get caught up. 

Thrown out of it in painful seclusion, 

you weep. 

Soaked in tears, 

your heart lulls you to sleep. 

In a stupor, 

you dream of a picture

drawn by your friend 

in the sophomore year-

Of togetherness and love

That you two had headed out 

to claim.
