In memory of Cate Colbert

Flickering candles in our hands
Heartbroken wailings, raw and bitter
Naseous feelings in the pits of our stomaches

Hello.
I don't know you, and you don't know me
But I know you know how I feel right now
This shouldn't have been the way that we met
This shouldn't be the reason we're all gathered here

Picture of a girl we all know (do we?)
Radient smile on her face that we all recognize
We swap memories of Her
Which leads to smiles and laughs
Then fade to tears brimming up in our eyes
From the disconnect of talking about Her in the past tense

No one needs to tie a ribbon around their finger to remember this
No one needs to mark it on their calendars
Or write with sharpie on their hands

In memory of Cate Colbert. Much love miss.
