It's been ten years. I no longer know anyone else who knew Benji. He never met my fiancé, & only briefly a few members of my family.
Sometimes I find it's been weeks or months since he last crossed my mind.
We were so young. Our relationship was brief, but so important. I am grateful to have had him in my life for the time that I did. He crystallises life at age 16 for me.
I'm 26 now, he will always be 16. I have grown up. I wish he had had the chance.
RIP Benjamin David Durow. I'll never forget us.
