A/N: I do not own Star Trek.

I found this on my old computer. It was originally written in 2011 when I was 14.


My Friend:

Kirk's Thoughts of Spock Following the Genesis Incident

By GandalfsTruth

One word.

Why?

After saving his ship and crew,

Why did Spock have to die?

Feelings I have tried to escape, out run.

Pain.

Loss.

Loneliness.

I am a man who cheats death.

And I stood on the other side

Of the glass as he gave his life.

As he slipped away.

I try to cope, to accept

That he's gone.

The memories haunt me.

In a way,

I welcome them.

I don't want to forget the time we had together.

So, I do my duty.

I comfort the crew.

I give orders.

His memory lives on.

He was, and always shall be, my friend.
