I just found out that you passed away this weekend... on a Saturday.
The first time around you fought it into remission, a scar left as a reminder.
This time, it caught you by surprise, as it did for all those around you.
It engulfed you with a determination that even you could not defeat.
You didn't call on me in time of need, for you thought that I would take pity.
You should have known that it wasn't pity I wanted to give you. Only love and strength.
As someone who has never dealt with the loss of a friend until now... it's kind of hard.
It's difficult knowing that I wasn't there for you in your final hours.
Maybe I'm selfish... for wanting to have said the things that needed to be said.
To have shared one last moment together, be it joy or sorrow or just a laugh.
Life is about learning and I have learned yet again.
A glimpse of sadness that now has new meaning... as does the word regret.
Now you're gone and it's too late.
Hopefully, somehow... I hope you hear these words.
It's hard knowing you're not around.
It's even harder knowing there were no goodbyes said.
Someday, I'm sure we'll meet again. Until then you will be missed.
Goodbye my friend and rest in peace.
