a bad day can always get worse

[indiepunkrock]

you gave me the nickname "verb"
or "verby"
or my favorite
"ms. verb"

it was something special that we had.

I'll never forget our first contact.
you had checked out my aim profile and I IMed you.
you were short with me.
You dated Brian when he was still a drummer for The Riot Act.
I thought you were a bitch.
you were just embarrassed.

We became friends through this website.
we were so alike, you were just a little younger.
same music, same ideas.
you were amazing.

I can't say that we knew each other well.
I can't even say for sure that we could be considered friends.
I met you one time.

you were beautiful.

I thought about you this morning.
I had sent a comment your way a month ago.
with no word.
I thought about you and I hoped you were doing well.

funny how things turn out.

Thank you to the friend that replyed.
thank you for letting me know.
I wish I knew more,
how it happened and the like.
still,

thank you.

I hadn't talked to you in over a year.
We were never even that close.
and yet...

somehow the world seems a little darker without you.

I raise my glass to you, my dear Lalitha.

Love always,
your favorite verb
