I just found out a friend of mine died
I knew him for most of my life
and have a hard time thinking
of his face
without a smile plastered across it

I couldn’t stop myself from smiling
every time we met
even at the burial of a man we both loved
when I played a song over the grave
and he said it gave him douche chills

Who else will have the balls
to sing a Freddie Mercury tune
on karaoke night?
Who else will remember that moment
when the eternal morning
bled into the endless night?
