Swimmer's Still Surfing by ~FreakyDeakyDawn:iconFreakyDeakyDawn:



I'm waiting for an update or email,
a message that will never come.

How is it you're profile is still here,
when you've been gone for almost a year?

A year, I can't believe this has taken me a year to write.

I didn't believe it at first,
"it just can't be right"

But how did I know it was true?
Well you made it to the main webpage my friend,
you even made it to youtube in the end.

What a video dude, what a tear jerker.
Gives me chills just thinking about it.

The internet, what a great thing, eh?
Another way to remind me you're gone, just another way.

I miss you man, I think about you a lot.

I just thought my friends wouldn't die until old age,
What a fool I am, I learned as a friend IMed me and showed me the webpage.

I remember you loved swimming,
you wanted to be a pro,
Maybe there's no competitions you're winning,
but you're in the water, the net you're surfing,
surfing, surfing, look at the computer screen glow.

I know, that was pretty lame, but its all I could come up with,
The only way to tell you I miss you and can't believe you're gone,
things that the internet would never truly understand.

So.. this is a poem I wrote for my late friend Yuriy. It's been about a year since he died and I've been trying to write something for him, I couldn't until this conversation I had with :iconhotoffthesketchbook: about like..what happens to different online profiles you have when you die.
I realized I found out about his death in an online conversation, and there's a video about him on youtube, and there was an article about it on his school website ..and he even still has a xanga....

Anyway....I know this is kinda... sappy.. but enjoy it.

Aww, Yuriy. :[
Very good work!

I've thought about that before. Like, a person's web page on the internet, from things they've created when they were alive, and then suddenly they pass away, and the web page they've created just . . . stays there . . . untouched.
However how lame that kind of sounds, the internet can be strangely haunting in that way.

I know the feeling. My friend Henry died last year and he still has a Facebook and everything. It's chilling.
Much love to Yuriy!
