I had written this poem about a year ago. One of the most recent times I saw Amanda, we were talking about poetry and I decided to show her this poem; she said she really liked it and even pointed out her favorite lines from it. I would like to dedicate this to Amanda and Christopher Firor. You and me, Like waves in the sea Drift apart, Just occasionally. Like the rays of the sun, Or a fresh baked bun, You are the source Of energy and warmth. Like trash discarded Haphazardly, Life threw us apart, So cruelly. What could I do, Except play a fool, drown in my sorrow and grief filled pool? Fish in the sea Swim joyously Until they're caught in a net. But honey don't fret, with confidence I bet, That you and me, like waves in the sea, together one day, we'll surely be. R.I.P. Amanda, you will always live on in our hearts.
