Wild horses

When I was 19
You died.
You were 21.
I remember feeling
Numb.
How could someone 
My age die ?
I remember it
Was August.
I laid outside 
In a chair.
Wearing a 
Swimsuit I
Told myself
I would just 
Lay and get 
A tan.
I put headphones 
On and listened
To the radio.
The sun was
So hot.
My skin
Was feeling 
Like I might
Be burning.
I will not move
I will not cry,
I said to myself.
The song
Wild horses 
Came on.
I started 
Crying.
It was the first 
Time
I was scared 
By death.
By the change of
Life.
Today I was
In cvs and the song
Came on.
I cried. 
I remembered you.
All you missed.
I cried.. 
For all
I have.
