If there's no one beside you

When your soul embarks...

A long time back, geez, over five years ago, I wrote this:

Someone I don't know responded a couple months later and left an email address asking about Jared. I never did send a reply until just now. And I wrote how I still remember that phone call...and I remember how angry and sad and just a mess for a bit, because he was a good kid. We had some screwed up times, but the good by far outweighed the bad. Even now I'm kinda pissed off, a useless, pointless suicide. I was told he was having issues with his girl.

Let me tell you about issues...

I don't usually have poor choice in picking titles for these things I write, but it was the only one that came to mind. I've never known anyone before or since Jared who chose to leave us in this way, and I hope I never do. He had a great laugh.

Kinda smiled when I typed that. If you had known him you would know this to be true.

Then I'll follow you into the dark
