When the fire dances low in the pit of logs, and the shadows swerve and bounce off the walls, I remember you.
When one arm of the clock reaches towards half-past and the other slightly bends off twelve towards one, I think of you.
Your music lingers in my very being. It permeated its way into my blood when I first met you. When you were alive I could look forward to each pseudo-erotic electronic scream from your guitar, each flick of your wrist sending a bolt of sound through the amps. When I am alone and I am wreathed in sorrow, I long for you. You lived your life like a strawberry sorbet that melted too quickly. Like the mythological boy who journeyed too close to the sun, you took your leave and flew away with borrowed wings and a dented halo.
...I never even got to say goodbye.
