Finally... You are home,
7:27 pm.
You wonder if he is alright
You haven't heard from him since
2:15pm today
Finally! He coals.
His voice is weak and course
He’s coughing
In the background
The sound of people walking away
He moans in pain
He cries
The first time you heard ever
You can tell
By his breathing and his tears
Something has just gone wrong.
He speaks weakly and says
"He’s gone"
You think" who!?"
He says the name
His tears clogging his throat
You feel your heart stop
You loved him he’s gone
Your friend is gone.
"He died in my arms"
Your friend says crying
"Shot to death"
Then the words hand in silence
Your next thought is.
As you weep softly
'Are you alright?"
"What happened to you'?
"I was shot in the leg"
Silent tears roll down your cheeks.
"They shot me killed him"
.You know who he means.
Your chest is pounding now
"This is the first tine."
"The first time you will hear me cry.."
He weeps
Still on the phone both crying
He says.."The ambulance is here"
He says"I need to go"
..You dont want to let him go
You know he could die if he didn't go
You silently whisper okay
You bite your lip
He says” I promise I will be alright"
You say okay chocking on tears
He whispers” I... love you"
I love you too rolls off your tongue
You both hang up you cry..
He calls you the next morning.
He’s alright.
You're so happy to hear from him.
He silently whispers
.."He’s gone nothing can change that.."
A tear rolls down your cheek
Two days before your birthday..
.Your friend dies
Goodbye Hiroshi...
I miss you.
