Since then I have let my tears flow, I have spilled my secrets and she has kept them all, she has seen and heard my worst and yet has stood by me. If ever I felt close to the abyss, she grabbed my hand and I knew it was okay, with her by my side I will come to no harm.
Together we were unafraid to be weird, we were unabashingly strange and together we were amazingly, unapologetically and truly ourselves and not afraid to be different. Together we truly, for the first time in our lives, felt alive.
That is why this is an ode to you my friend. You don't know how I had longed to have someone like you and you can't imagine how thankful I am to have a friend like you. I thank god for all the hardships, the 'lessons' for they have led me to you. I am here because of you or I was going give up a long time ago and if ever you feel like you are not loved, as I had all those times, remember me and know that I will love you till the end of time and beyond. This is an ode to you my friend, for you are the breath to my body, the joy of my life and the soul of my being.
p.s.-I wrote this just in case I don't make it from that operation table. Don't think I didn't give it my all. It was probably the stupid doctor's fault. I wrote this so that no matter what happens at least you know. I have told you all my secrets except the events written above. I hope to tell you all this in person but just in case.
p.p.s- don't you dare think it was your fault or that you couldn't save me because when they bury me it would be because I was dead and not because they were completing job that should have happened long ago. I lived because of you and I died because the stupid doctor didn't know what he was doing. So if you remember me, smile you look a lot nicer when you do ;)
Yours forever
Dawn.
