Ravings of a Nomadic Mind

Someone I had been very good friends with in school died on 30^th March and it made me sad, and reminded me again that life can be a very disloyal companion, but It's not the people it's the moments. This is dedicated to him. There are a few people who have made my life worthwhile and worth living.
