“Sometimes it Snows in April”

Thursday evening I realized that you couldn’t sing at my wedding, and I didn’t think about whether I could afford it, and it was then, that I realized the finality in the terrible news that you were gone. Prince Rogers Nelson 1958 – 2016, gone way too soon, and well before your time.

I am still not accepting this. Prince was never meant to be this world’s “weekend lover, (he was supposed to) be some kind of friend, it’s such a shame our friendship had to end.” “Times are (definitely) changing,” But I can’t reach for something new.Thursday evening I realized that you couldn’t sing at my wedding, and I didn’t think about whether I could afford it, and it was then, that I realized the finality in the terrible news that you were gone.

I was en route to see my girlfriend (who also shares my feelings, if not more for Prince) when I learned the news. Over the last two months I had seen him thrice, she twice in the same week, and once together.
I had a conversation with a friend, after, stating how Prince was something that was mine. From growing up in 80’s and having his vinyl to his expanding catalogue in the 90’s. He was someone that I identified growing up, different eras, and special experiences with. Later in life, I was able to share these with others, but that experience was solely based on that affectation in my life. Until I see you again.

Fashion slave, you protestin’ to get in a f–kin’ look book
Everything I scribble’s like The Anarchist Cookbook

The burnin’ of the sulfur, God damn I love the smell
Like it’s a pillow torchin’, where the f–k the warden?
And when you find him, we don’t kill him, we just waterboard him
We killin’ ’em for freedom cause they tortured us for boredom
And even if some good ones die, f–k it, the Lord’ll sort ’em
