1.

We went outside

in the 

sun.

Your banter had

 me on the 

 run.

As you shot 

I quite forgot

all the best

rules

to look cool.

2.

I caught your

face on my

screen –

A face in 

a place we’ve

been.

But your look

all focus 

took

with thoughts of

what might have 

been.

3

I read your

news in my

feed.

Such news you

don’t choose to

read.

Battles lost

and boundaries 

crossed.

It seems death

breeds rhymes and 

dreams.
