Noise
Boy, were you noisy! The minute you arrived, they all knew. They knew that you had a presence, the presence. You wanted to be acknowledged. You would get recognition no matter what. You were loud. You were life. Being in the shadows somewhere was not for you. You would never have stood for it. Now the noise is gone. The life, the emotional energy of your being, is nowhere to be found. You once said that no one who ever met you could ever forget you. How true that is. You were, you are my troubled and lost friend.
