Sense Sonnet - Acher

Sad Wonder

It's so hard for me to believe
That over a year has gone past.
Caught between to hope or to grieve.
How long will Jesse's missing last?
We were part of a student group,
Staying in Chicago downtown
At a big hotel in the Loop,
For a seminar of renown.
After a social late at night,
Jesse said he needed some air.
He assured me he'd be all right.
But he disappeared. God knows where!

Jesse walking away from me.
It is my saddest memory.
