From the time our feet found their place beneath us,

We have always been together.

Our youth uplifted into the open world,

Never apart, we promised one another--

Until, while you were suspended between the concrete bounds

His two-ton, metallic hand blew across the asphalt void,

In the moment you were taken,

Could you feel the ground tear apart-

The heavens stripped away, exposing the sky’s gaping maw,

That tore away the cherished heart?

Standing in the middle of the road,

Headlights pass like shooting stars-

My thoughts not of the life we dreamed,

If only to fulfill that wish of ours.
