Dog Star
So today was Simon’s birthday (I guess technically yesterday but whatever). I miss him. It makes me sad we aren’t even friends anymore. Cause I’ll always love him. He was my whole world. And then he wasn’t.
I hope one day we’ll see each other again. We will, right? I mean how can we just never ever talk again? That seems absurd. One day. One more time.
It’s the new blink 182 song, I had been thinking about him today driving to downtown, and then that song came on the radio, and I just really felt it. It hit kinda hard. And where he used to be is now just a hollow emptiness.
My best friend. I could tell him anything. He knew me in ways no one else did. He understood me. And I understood him. That sounds dumb. So dumb. But I don’t know how else to describe it. He changed me, and my life, in so many ways, big and small.
It was November when he first visited. There was a day of the dead festival in Tucson. For all its flaws, Tucson knows how to do a day of the dead processional.
and then today I stumbled into the Denver’s day of the dead festival. I wasn’t there for that, I didn’t even know it was happening. We were downtown wandering around, visiting museums, and then suddenly there we were. It was just very serendipitous and wonderful and it made me happy.
One day. One day. one more time. We’ll meet again.
