We didn't talk much

Remembrances come as anniversaries on a annual clock; there's remembrance day, overdose awareness day, suicide prevention day and to the family of the departed, other anniversaries come to remind, of birthdays, special moments and the day of death itself.

For some death comes by accident and to others by design, knowingly and invited leaving those that live in a experience of question and shock.

I wrote these few words recently dedicated to a collegue who came to pass one day some time ago. By accident or design, he left us questioning why?

We didn’t talk much when you were alive,

We worked together of sorts

We said our hellos and goodbyes

Sometimes you asked for my help

I stopped, you spoke.

And then I heard you’d gone

Was it by accident you left?

Had you intended to go?

And then I started to care,

Why now?
