In Memory
A response to the sudden death of a former classmate
I don’t know what happened and
I don’t know if I want to know
I have my suspicions of why you went
It doesn’t matter now, I just hope it didn’t hurt
We were never close but
I always thought you could be my friend
You were so kind, and I was so awkward
I still don’t know how to make friends
I’m sad we’ll never have that chance now
Should I have reached out?
You should be following your dreams right now
The 27 club didn’t need more members, they didn’t deserve you
I’m so, so sorry

"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"
