Today I Saw Dragonflies

And Thought of You

By Yasmine RiveraPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Today I saw a swarm of dragonflies

and it made me think of you.

The person whom died exactly a week before my 8th birthday.

The person whom I loved.

You were my best friend

for almost eight counting years.

Then a week before,

God said hallelujah you're home

as he took you back.

Dragonflies surrounded your dark mahogany coffin.

Before this, I was cleaning out my room

and stumbled on your shirt.

The shirt that indicates

your sunrise and sunset, Macho.

I got chills and teared up.

Today I was thinking of you.

I love you.

I miss you Macho.
