he begged you not to go
we all tried, really
although you still went
but the question is
go where?
in the ground?
because that's where your body went
to heaven?
because that's where everyone says
your soul is happily now
in my mind?
because you can't seem to leave there
for more than five seconds at a time
and even then you are sitting in the corners
pulling tears from my eyes
and words from my lips
and breath from my lungs
you are physically "gone"
from this world
but your thoughts
will never leave me

Once again, in memory of the beautiful Jullian. Even in death, you never wanted to hurt us. You will never be forgotten, my love.
