For K.

Dancer, I wish you could dance for me one more time
And show me your best moves
And smile for me, and let out a giant laugh.
And be yourself and unafraid of whoever thinks badly of you.
I wish to go back in time to see your face alive again
And to tell you I love you and you're such a great friend
But it's over, it's ended, it's just too late now.
The newspaper just gave me the who the when and the how.
It's cruel the way you left this world
Such a beauty like you shouldn't have had to bear it.
I can only imagine your fear, the tears on your face
But I can clear it all away and remember your beautiful smile
And as it pains me to say
I wonder when the last time was that you got to wear it.
Tonight the sun set
The night has washed in
And I'm left here to cry.
I didn't find out until just now that my favorite dancer died.
