An untitled poem dedicated to TheDivaden/Eurodiva

When I get to the end of the world
I will meet you at the beginning of the world
Since you met then left me midexpedition.

She was my best friend. She will be greatly missed.

As a nonpracticing Historian, I received my BA in History from Baruch College in 2008.
