Good-bye


We never really talked.
We knew each other through another.
Yet when I looked back at you.
You're smile was haunting.
And you made your choice.
The gun went off without a sound.
A school brought together
Through your death.
Each one of us had a story.
How he cried for you, I'll never forget.
"Another six months I'll be unknown"
Is that what you thought?
We think of you every day.
As I saw you lay there.
I could not help but feel the pain.
Every one did not know what to say or do.
Were you planning this?
Did you really laugh the loudest?
Was that song right?
I wish I would have chosen better words.
Then what my last ones were.
I wish I have known.
Much like everyone else.
A friend is lost.
Another statistic, but never forgotten.
Good-bye, Adam
We all said that day.
