Why

Why?

By Nentikobe

Dedicated to Mike Neddo.

Hello, you may not know me

You may have never seen me before

But I know you

I've seen you

To me you were nothing but a face with a name

I didn't know you well

But I still cry

You were so well loved

By everyone

It just makes no sense

You weren't a part of my life

But you were always around

I've seen you

I've heard you

I've heard people talk about you

All nice things

Everyone loved you

And it saddens me that I won't get the chance

To love you too

You always seemed so happy

I didn't know you personally

But I found myself looking you up

In my yearbook

As I stare at your picture

Trying to accept what has happened

I start to cry

I don't know why

I just do

I think of my friends who knew you

I think of others too

I think of what your family

Will do without you

I cry

I don't get to bed 'till late

You were so young

You were so loved

Everyone will miss you

I will too

I passed you in the hallway

That final day of your life

And it never occurred to me

That I would never pass you in the hallway again

So as I say goodbye

I try not to cry

But all I want to know is, "Why?"
