Mother taught me not to live with regret
Father urged me to always tie up loose ends
Pearls of wisdom to live by
Until that loss of a friend
Show’s how easy it is to be instructed
Planning until that nothing becomes something
A loss this large feels like destruction
I’m going through it
I nearly forgot how to function
Almost a decade without a run-in
No phone calls or emails
Dead silence
Now if I miss you
All I do is shut my eyelids
For years you approached me
With my unconscious mind coasting
Didn’t know until now
You were reaching out
Sending messages to clear the doubt
I catalogued the epilogue
37 and gone too soon
There’s no denying
Yet I don’t feel regret
The picture is as clear as the day we met
But damn, the timing
Three days and I’m still crying
Trying to cope..
With the news of you dying
