For You

So a about a month or so ago, I experienced a death.

I barely knew the person but it still hurt so much to know I would never see them again. It hurt to see all of these people around me cry. It hurt to see my friend and their significant other break. So here's the letter I wrote to them:

To: The Lost Friend

I'm barely coming to terms that you've left. I'm so mad though. I'm mad that you were ripped away from me when I literally just met you. From all the stories I've heard about you, you seemed like the best friend you would only hear from in those cliche novels. The one that would do anything for you to smile. The one that was always outspoken. The one that would drop anything for you no matter how insignificant it was. 

Life just isn't fair.

And that week it happened, I heard everyone talk about it. Spreading stupid rumors around and watching as people believed them. Words cant describe how badly I wanted to punch them in the face. Then there were the people that cried for attention. I saw a few. It was so easy to spot them. 

I watched a few of your 'friends' go on about there business. A lot of your friends cried when you left. They didn't show up for school. But a few just carried on like normal. I wasn't sure if they were hiding their emotions or just didn't care. And that's what scared me. Because I know from experience that when you bottle up your emotions, they will just spill. 

Just like a water bottle when it overflows. And once it empties out, there will be nothing in its place.

And when I see my friend, I watch her carefully. I'm scared that she will just break one day. I'm scared that I will watch as she crumbles like a sand castle when hit by a wave and I wont be able to do anything about it. I'm terrified that she will decide to join you one day. I know how madly in love she is with you. You guys had barely celebrated a year together.

So here I am, writing this for you. I will probably end up deleting this later. I just needed to get this off my chest. 

                                                                                                                               Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                A Friend
