A requiem for you, my dear friend

I listen and think, in the dark and on my own. For I am no longer whole without you. Without your presence with me. I miss the way you talk, the way I'd feel my eyes crinkle in the slightest of smiles when you say something silly, when you make me laugh.

You promised, and now I listen to the silence in the void you left behind. Reminiscing of all the memories we shared, the good, the bad, the stupid.

And now I'm sitting in the dark, thinking of the ways I could have stopped you. But... would you have listened? Could I have stopped you through the heartbreak you showed me in your eyes? Where your tears glimmer like diamonds in a dying light, a fading nebula of life. The memories flicker past my eyes, a slide show I wish to live in till time stops, and we all fade into oblivion.

I'll sit in the dark and play a song we both loved. A song that in better days, we listened to happily, but one that is now bittersweet. I play it for you, a requiem for you and everything we once shared, my dear friend...
