"it was a thursday
i had just gone shopping for trainers
and when i went home
he wasn't there
i looked everywhere
phoned everyone
no one knew.
the next morning, i got a call from the hospital.
they were telling me that phil was badly hurt
someone had run him over
and he was sitting on what they said
could be his death bed.
in the hospital, i had never seen him like that before.
he saw me and smiled wide.
i whispered his name and he whispered back mine. i held both his hands in silence.
tears were running down my cheeks.
all the years of our friendship
flashed through my mind
next to him i felt strong
with hope
like i could be anything
but now i felt him slipping away
and i couldn't do anything to stop it.
the next day, phil lester, my best friend and soul mate, died.
it was the worst day of my life.
i had to stop everything that was good in my life.
i quit youtube. deleted all my public social medias.
i ended all my friendships.
i was alone.
but he was still there with me.
in my heart.
i miss him every day.
he's always going to be here, no matter what.
because he's next to me, in my life.
and i love him for that."
