Without You

This Blog Posting is dedicated to my friend Matt who passed today from AIDS Related Complications. Matt was 28, diagnosed in 1999. He was 5'10, 145 pounds, brown hair with brown eyes.

Matt may you rest in peace in...
a place where AIDS was just a dream.
a place where the only cocktail is the one you're sipping on the beach.
a place where you don't worry about getting sick anymore.
a place where you don't have to worry in fear about disclosure.

I will miss your e-mails, I will miss your calls, but most of all I already miss the fabulousness that is you!

A song from my favorite musical RENT.

Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows.

Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, The children play. The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.

Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves.Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash.The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you.The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without you.

The world revives, Colors renew, But I know blue, only blue, lonely blue, within me blue.

Without you. Without you the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats.

Without you, the eyes gaze, the legs walks, the lungs breath.The mind churns!
The mind churns! The heart yearns! The heart yearns! The tears dry, without you.
Life goes on, but I'm gone.'Cause I die, without you. Without you. Without you. Without you
