I touch the skin of a dieing man. I remember the night before when we cried, and i said everything will be just fine. You'll be home soon to your wife. It will all be alright. Tomorrow is just another night, I'm sure we won't be pulled in to the fight. Every last beating heart was thankful to be alive. Now here beside me my best friend will die. Never again to sing under the moonlight. never again hold his breath as the footsteps pass. I never thought life could vanish so fast. I am still shattered and uneasy, waiting for my day when i drift in the wind so freely. Goodbye my friend, I know you're not far. Goodnight my friend who has ascended to the stars.Birth sign: Aries
