For You

Today, I say goodbye to you, my dear friend,

To a friend who's been very funny,

To a friend since grade school,
To our dancer, singer, and heartthrob,

To a friend I missed, a friend who reached out,

To a friend I lost again.

I didn't have time to go to your funeral,

Though it doesn't mean that you don't matter to me,

You'll always be remembered.

Our last two conversations are still vivid to me.

A week before that unfortunate day,

You told me that you wanted to change,

That you've already lost some good things because of your hard-headedness,

That you wanted to fix your life.

You were proud of your daughter,

You described how she is at school,

"Teacher complains about her naughtieness," you said,

You loved her.

Then a day before it, we upadated each other,

On what we were up to that day,

I thought you were in a good spirit,

You were joking,

I didn't have a chance to say goodbye.

On that Tuesday, your best friend told us the distressing news.

I couldn't believe it!

It couldn't happen to you!

I coun't imagine even in my wildest dreams that you could do it!

It couldn't be true!

We visited you that day, we saw you,

You were lying down without life in that thing I don't want to see.

You looked so happy and peaceful,

But still, it didn't sink in.

At the back of my mind, I was still thinking that it was just a dream.

It's only now that I'm starting to realize,

It's now after you were buried yesterday,

It's only now that I'm feeling the pain of your lost.

We will all miss you!

Thank you for all the good, funny, and not so good memories!

You will remain to be one of my very good friends.

We will always pray for you.
