Melting moments momentarily spent
Laughing on the sun soaked deck,
Belching crisp cold cans of watery beer.
We dreamed about our futures
expanding past what was our present.
What I wouldn’t give to hear
the crack of wit in your voice.
Surprising me at every straight
and narrow minded conclusion.
My expectations of you were always surpassed
past my understanding of your knowledge.
Ignorant of your immortality
and isms I’d miss.
One only knows what tiny shards
of heart break feels like
As each piece pricks your insides;
pools in the empty pit of loss.
When a heart shatters
time is there to stitch itself
into its crevices.
All I know is,
I miss you my friend,
My buddy,
My pal,
Nate.
