A girl I hardly knew, tenuously connected to a past I barely acknowledge.
A day of distraction, a night of diversion, yet something lingers.
Memory snapshots, conversation murmers, faded visions.
Dredging memories that aren't linear, of people that don't match.
Mortality slams home and quickly skips off the selfishness and guilt.
Too young to go, too troubled to stay.
May the found peace outweigh the mourning.
