A poetic memoir of another friend lost to AIDS.
Now that you're gone:

There are no wake-up calls for coffee.

There's no one to share recipes or dreams, devilish secrets or hopes.

No warm melodic voice tells me how special I am.

No one gets excited about my excitement.

There's no one to sing love songs to.
