Sometimes

I have so much to say
othertimes, like now, the words
come slowly
but I know I must keep trying

the night you died
i dreamed of you
it was a good friend dream
and now, you're gone
i still recall our last conversation
memories of your smiles and laughs,
your chats, the jokes, the cups of coffee
the beers after work on Fridays
the betting on the rugby matches
i have your last e mail in my inbox
your name and number on my cellphone

and i have to go on (with my life)
day after day
without you
walk into the office and know
you won't be there for the coffee
you won't be there for the chats
or the smiles and laughs

and i haven't yet figured out how i will make it
without you my friend
but i know i don't have a choice

I love you my friend
and I miss you

Always

LG...my heart breaks for you and for the many people who will read this and relate to every word. You are a very good writer...your words touch the heart. I have a friend whose husband is reaching his final days with a very grave illness. What you have said here will be in her mind in the months to come. Thank you for making me appreciate just how much she has to lose. We can forget.

Sorry, I got so caught up in your beautiful words that I did not mention the most important thing of all. Your loss and how painful it must be for you. These are your words, in memory of someone dear to you, I am very sorry for your loss L....
