as amazing as he was, he was a liar. he lied about being okay, he lied about feeling good. his answer to almost any question was a lie. he was never okay, things were never good, for him. he was dying and when i realized that my world came crashing down around me. he never said anything to me about it and i still don't know why, and i suppose that i won't. when i remember him, i try to think of when he was vibrant but all i can imagine is him lying in the hospital bed, the only sound in the room was the beeping of the heart monitor. i remember him fading fast, everything was good and one day the illness just hit him. i didn't have much time with him from when he was hospitalized and i knew that as soon as i got the call. he was barely conscious the first time i visited and it was so hard to see him like that. it already felt like he was gone.
