I down my bottle of whisky
Trying to drown out the world
But I remember the specific time
When my head swirled in different directions.
You appeared to me.
In my mind.
In your nurse’s outfit.
That day, I couldn’t forget.
That day I’d never get.
“Goodbye now, I'm gonna become a nurse.”
You said so happily.
I watched as you poured your heart
And possibly your soul into the craft.
I watched as you rejoiced at your passing of the bar exam.
Goodbye, my dearest friend.
You’d already married and had kids now.
I hope you're happy wherever you are.
I really am.
