Simon - A Drabble
Lately, I find myself wondering about people I could've been friends with.

There was this kid in school. Simon. His adoptive name. He was a war orphan – a little black boy in a classroom full of white ones. Only years later I found out some people have trouble with that.

Last time I saw him was at the library. “How've you been? It's been a while.” We said we'd keep in touch, but we never did. That's life. It gets in the way.

I like to think we could've been friends. He killed himself before I could ever find out.
