The feel in the air was morbid as the three best friends gathered around Lily Randall's coffin. Her body was so strange, looking so warm and alive, but really so cold. They just couldn't believe that this wake was the effect of some quick accident, that their best friend had been taken from them so quickly. Tears falling like so many raindrops, two of them backed away, leaving the one who had loved her most to mourn alone.
Travis's POV
You're gone. For the entire four days between when your mom "broke the news" and today, the wake, I refused to admit it. But seeing you today, seeing you laying there in a coffin ... that's when it really hit me.
I can't hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind.
It's just so hard to believe that's it. After the funeral tomorrow, I'll never see you again. Never kiss you, never hold you, never hear you speak my name ... because you're gone. Just an accident, that's what they've been saying. Just some idiot, some drunk who sped through a red light and killed you. Well, now because of his "accident," I'll never get to marry the woman I love, the only woman I could ever love. The woman I loved. You'd be ashamed of me Lil, of the way I reacted. I completely lost that old Travis that you loved, the cool, calm and collected one. I turned into some sort of ... animal. Lets put it this way ... I punched a wall. Hard. I didn't know knuckles contained as much blood as I lost. God, I miss you.
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream?
