I remember it all

I felt it break,
Never realizing that it could hurt so much.

I heard the sinking of the ship,
Finally seeing the destruction at the bottom of the ocean.

I tasted the bitter tears,
Those rolling down my face for the one I lost.

I remember the clap of thunder,
When they told us he was gone.

I felt the room spinning,
Yet I knew the world had just stood still.

I recall each thought that ran threw my mind,
When I knew he would never again walk threw those doors.

I heard the echo of each voice,
Telling me it would be all right.

Now years later,
I still feel the initial sting.

I cant quite forget him,
Or the way he used to make me laugh.

I still hear him laughing,
Still see him walking down the halls.

This I fear is only a dream,
For I wont see him again.

His short life affected me deeply,
Taught me so very much.

I just hope that one day,
I can forget the pain left over from that one tragic day in April.
