As I looked at your photos in my phone
Memories flooded back
Crashing at me like harsh waves
Streaming with sorrow and grief.
I wish you stayed a little longer
I wanted to share my happiness with you,
create unforgettable memories with you,
and simply be happy with you.
Yet with the illness that you unfortunately carried
I didn’t want you to suffer and live miserably
As much as I wanted you to stay,
I knew you had to go.
I watched you during your last moments of life
Staring blankly into nothingness
Life slowly draining out of your system.
I didn’t want to accept it
I was devastated and depressed
But I wanted you to be free from your misery you once lived in
and to be in pure bliss and peace.
Rest in peace, my dear friend
You may be gone,
but never forgotten.
