One Year Today (Poem)

A crash took two lives,
parents,
teachers,
loved by many.

Everyone coped differently,
from hopeful thoughts of afterlife
to crying late into the night.
I ran away.

One year ago,
I ran back to a ghost of the past
and fell in love with it.
At least ghosts are still around.

Losing someone is like
coming home after a short trip,
only to find the city decimated,
and only a stone to mark its existence.

You want to walk down those old streets,
but they're not there anymore.
There's just emptiness,
that absolute absence.
