*In remembrance of one of my favorite professors who passed away yesterday*
The news still lingers in my head
I cannot process death
In my head, it doesn't register
I hear it, but don't feel it
I'm numb to death
I feel sad, but I keep moving
I keep going no matter how close death is to me
I can't mourn through who have passed
I keep going, no more what
Yet I find myself lingering at the news of your passing
I find myself saddened by what happened
I find myself needing time to process but yet I don't know how to feel
I feel scared and worried about the implications of your passing
Sad to see how the school will be when going back
Death isn't an easy thing for me
Yet I find myself smiling and laughing as time never passes
You were my first professor I ever had in college
I remember being afraid of what college life and what to expect
But you teach me to not only live it but to experience life
Make memories and friends
Time passes before you know it
Now I'm staring at your obituary
Thinking time does pass by, but not in a way I would have liked it to
