What would you say if I left tomarrow?
How would you feel?
As days get longer
And nights get lonely

What would happen if my life ended tomarrow?
Where would you be?
What would you do?
Would you sit back and think of all the times that we spent together?

Would cry over my grave?
Would time stop for me and only me just for a day?
Just for a night?
Would you remember me for all that I am?

Would you care about me later the way that you do now?
Or will I vanish from sight and memory too?
What would you do without me?

Answer me this, and I will tell you when I'm leaving
And when I'm coming back to carry you home with me..

"I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over
I wanna know right now what will it be
I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over
Will it be yes
Or will it be sorry"
         - Paula Cole
For Christopher Shiflet

We love you and will never stop thinking about you.
Especially not me...

Love,
Lady

Ladycat, I feel your pain in this one. Though I knew Chris, I didn't have a chance to know him. Just those few times he'd traipse in to Hastings, or when I'd see him with his boots and jacket at Hot Stop, one of the few places in the mall there to have a smoke and some wonderful grub. I didn't know him too well, and his overdose will insure that I never will.

Ali,
Chris didn't overdose, he shot himself in the head and that is what made it worse.

Love,
Lady
