Hear That Voice Again

In the sub sandwich shop, waiting for my order, four guys at a table in the corner, each enjoying a bottle of beer and I hear a voice that instantly brought back memories and visuals of a co-worker/friend who passed away in the early days of covid ..... the voice this evening so eerily similar. 

I had to look twice to make sure that it wasn't my old friend.

It's been on my mind in the hour since. 

His passing at the time was a bit of a shock because you just don't expect to be touched by things until it actually hits you in the face but after a while, and a good amount of time passing by, you tend to forget ....

..... until jolted back to memory and life by the sudden tone of that familiar voice.
