to an old friend

i wish you'd said something.maybe a phonecall or a text message.
the last time i saw you was on the eve itself.you were perfect. but you're werent saying anything.you weren't breathing. life was non-existent in you no more.i watched you died in the hospital bed. you looked pale, your lacklusture told me you wont be there for me no more.

i spent your last few moments with you as you struggled to breathe.days i spent with you suddenly came rushing through my head.you motivated me to move on when i was down. you gave me an aim in mind, a goal to find. i did the best i could to fulfill most of them but to no avail.maybe next year, i'd be doing the same again.

think i'd be grieving and mourning over your lost again.

i gave you a peck on your cheek and forehead for i may never do so ever again.
at your burial site,the mood was blue and sombre. everyone you knew were there.i was standing in front. not afraid to have a last look of the moment you'd spend on earth before disappearing in the ground.
others wanted to tear up but i stood strong. as they began to cover your body with soil,
i plucked enough courage to say, "FUCK"i knew i could offer a much better final word to you.

the clouds turned from blue to grey.i felt the first raindrop landing on my nose.by then your body was full covered by earth.slowly, one by one, we offered our prayers to you and walked away.
i went to my knees, with tears on my cheek.i looked at the engravement on your concrete.
when i read it out, i cried even more.you were gone.
