Time goes by
And time can erase
What all else cannot
Yet I have not forgotten you
The day still remains
Too clear and painful
When I heard
Again
And again
The news that was too terrible to bear
“He’s gone…”
And I tried to hold it in
Until, alone
I could cry
Release the pain
The frustration
And most of all
The wondering
Of why?
Why him?
Why so tragically?
Why so young?
Then and now
I can’t piece together
All these questions
All this confusion
And most of all
I can’t understand
How time can erase
That which time cannot understand
