"Then let's play video games and laugh and cuddle
and make promises that we think we'll keep.
Then we'll smile together, and fall asleep with a mess of papers, pencils and books everywhere"
"Hey Cisco, how's it going?
Everyone's loud right now in memory of you.
Ahaha, I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep at all now.
Aside from all that I wanted to say goodbye.
I never really got to talk to you, but you sure did talk to me.
A man in only his 60's dying because of a drinking problem.
Shame no one tried to stop you.
You were just too happy, ecstastic and friendly.
I think no one really had the heart to take away that alcohol mixed drink in your hand.
I still remember your voice, bellowing down the entire block.
That voice.
It was filled with so much volume and genuine kindness.
You were a silly man.
And I still think that now, even after 4 years.
I think I noticed your disappearence in a couple days.
I couldn't hear you.
I couldn't hear your loud bellowing voice.
Greeting people, even strangers that walked by.
"HEY"
"HOW YOU DOIN?"
I always heard that loud friendly voice.
Everyday.
Everyday.
Everyday.
Even when I was in my house.
In the Basement,
in the attic
didn't really matter
but I always heard you.
Then it was suddenly quiet.
I could hear the birds
I could hear the wind
I could hear my pencil rub across my sketchbook.
For the first time in 4 years
I heard everything.
It just felt all wrong without that voice.
My mom finally figured out ,from Rod, that you were dying.
It didn't really shock us
since you drank just as heavy as my dad
But I wanted to cry.
I wanted to ask questions.
Questions that I already knew the answer to.
I just didn't want to believe it.
But I held my aching tears back
and made myself remember that I've already seen countless dead bodies.
But you were different.
You made an impact on my life weather you knew it or not
and I never even realized that till now.
My mom wanted to see you before you fell in death's arm.
But I wanted to so you just as much.
Sadly, as I expected, I never got the chance to see you before you left
only two days ago.
Hey Cisco, they're quiet now.
I guess they're done partying in your memory.
They were very loud,
just like you.
You were a nice guy Cisco
and I feel so happy knowing I knew someone like you.
I didn't get to say goodbye then,
But I'll say it now.
Goodbye Cisco, I hope to see you one day.
Goodnight."
