Ask Jane the Killer

Truths

A long time ago, a close friend promised me he would never leave me. Well, yesterday we had to say goodbye. Forever. I will admit, I cried for what appeared to be hours until I came to a realization.
He kept his promise. He will never leave me. I will always have the memories we had made together. Now, when he went to leave he left me a short paragraph.
At the end of this short paragraph, it had him asking me to please not kill myself. I won't. That was the final thing he asked of me, so I won't.
But you have to realize, people kill themselves everyday over these types of things. It shouldn't be that way. To kill you self, it's just so selfish.
It takes a true friend to bravely say goodbye for forever and trust you to still care for them. It hurts them more than it hurts you. I told this friend I would wait an eternity for him, and I still would. And the only way to do that, is to keep on living.

A message to that friend:
If you are reading this, you don't have to reply. I just want to tell you me and echo are okay now. We still miss you but, there is and always will be a spot open for you if there ever comes a day when you can come back. I promise I won't kill myself, and echo's mother caught her cutting after you left so that's stopped. I just wanted to give you a final thank you, for all the times you put up with me, all those times you knew exactly what to say, and every time you were able to make me smile when I was just about to break. Thank you for the memories. Thank you.
