A Lost North

after 37 hours i got to sleep
but before that
i listened
and broke my heart
he talked about plans and what was to come
and how he loved her so
he showed us where he lived
and how he created home
with the love of his life

i saw her family shead tears for her

the next day
we went back
i told him how i felt
but didnt tell him the truth
i made sure to try to be positive
when all i could do is curse
he thanked me for being there
and there is no place i would have rather been

three days after
the truth hit me like a tun of bricks
some one so young should have never been
in a box not ment for her
some one thanked me for being there
and all i could say was thank you back
confused
we all walked out
on the grass
we looked at each other
no words where spoken
i went back in
and told him
that we where in the way, and needed to go
he thanked me again
and we embraced
later he showed up with us
and we talked

the final day
I have never seen such a sad day in my life
i tell you this
i could look up and down my line
and see people crying
who i have never expected to cry
the strongest where weeping
and the embracing eachother
he was stronger than all of us that day

after everything was said and as much done as it could
we went on our ways
i drove hours appon hours
and ended up thinking
like i did all the days before
and then i started to cry
