I looked to see how you died.
We once were similar.
Knew people,
moved in circles.
Then you died
and became very different.
And I,
no longer wishing
to be similar,
looked to see how.

I was trying to post from an Android, thank you. Your advice worked perfectly.

I only meant to say that I'm honored to have had my little piece chosen.
