the final blow

today, i lost a dear friend. i had known him for almost a year and he never appeared ill, but today when i went to go see him, you could tell something was wrong. he had lost his spunk.

this friend has done a lot for me in the past. i'd go visit him whenever i was upset and he had no problem cheering me up and putting a smile on my face. just the short time we'd spend together i cherished and carried with me throughout the whole day. there was nothing i could ever do to repay him, just listen. just look. he held so many stories inside him.

then today, he was lackluster. pale. black. dying. i could barely make myself smile when i looked into his eyes. he was on his last legs and i whispered thank you when i left him.

this is the last thing he gave me.
