tears of sorrow

he was one of my best friends
he sat in front of me in class
we hung out everyday
until May 18th, 2004
he was on his way to school
he got a ride from a friend
they ran a red light
there was another car
it hit them on the passangers side
Charlie had died on that corner.
i found out a few hours after it happened
Mrs. Timm announced it to the class
i coundnt understand
Charles Kennedy?
who were they talking about?
then it had sunk in...
Charlie.
no one really cared
no one really realized that he was gone
i tried to hold it back
i tried not to cry
but i just couldnt help it
that was the last time i cried
