"The unknown distance to the great beyond stares back at my grieving frame..."

"And all that stands between the souls release ? This temporary flesh and bone we know that it's over now, I feel my faded mind begin to roam..." 

"There's nothing I can say, there's nothing we can do now..."

*A COMMENT: It all started a little over a year, I heard a foreign student, that did his abroad time in my school, had passed away. There were two facts that made this event "important". The first was that I had worked with him throughout the whole semester in this entrepreneurial project. The second was that it was actually the first person I actually knew of my age that died. Of course I was shocked when I found out about his car accident, shocked for the same 2 reasons noted before. I wouldn't go that far and call him a friend, as we barely knew each other, we did not super bond either, as we worked very independently, but the fact was I knew him and he was the same age as me. I started wondering why at that age, with a whole life ahead, that kind of questions I couldn't possibly answer nor understand... As the weeks went by, the shock state started to clear up...

Yesterday I found out another foreign student had died. What was different? Well, you could say the shock state was bigger as I actually considered him a friend. We had good times together, we formed a good group of friends, good times definitely. It did come as a bigger shock, a shock that won't clear up soon, and I'm asking the same goddamn questions I asked to myself back then, seriously, why? I don't quite understand. I can't even put my ideas together as of why this helplessness of not having the answers. I mean, sure everyone has to die at some point, but the thing that troubles me the most is why at their age, why little boys and girls, with so much to experience, so much to learn, know, feel, you name it... Why are life's designs so shitty? And yet we have to accept them and  try to make something out of them...

Anyway, all that remains to be said is that I will remember Dario as a happy, jovial and smiling dude, and I truly truly hope he enjoyed his time here, and if Life, the Universe, God, or whatever there is that "rules" what happens after life (if something actually happens), allows it we might see each other again some time. Travel well, my friend.
