You captured my mind
In that philosophy thread
I couldn't get you
Out of my head.

That sweet little smile
And, oh so gentle way
I remember your first email
Like it was yesterday.

We talked and discussed
You opened my eyes
With you I never felt
My feelings I need disguise.

We parted ways
Thinking we'd return
I had no idea that
the Wheel of Fate was going to turn.

I have few regrets in life
But, this one I know
Burns deeper than any
Because I didn't go.

I miss you, my friend
And, I now understand
That life is too short
To delay taking someone's hand.

It's the first poem I've written since my 12th grade Creative Writing class. But, someone reminded me of Steve this morning and I started to cry. And, then this came out.

RIP Steve. :heart:

I agree. And you should write more often than just at times when an old flame passes away. Do it in-between as well. We shan't force you to fall for someone while he is still alive -- hey, that would be like asking you to become happy? -- but surely you could write some poetry which is not dependent on someone else's passing away.

How do we know that that sweet guy passed away for sure?
