I lie awake at night missing you.
When I began to reflect on this, you were here.
Now you are gone.
I have missed you for so long.
I would stare into the soothing, pitch black night and selfishly replay
scenes from our lives.
The time that you were so excited to see me when you first started school,
that you ran and jumped into my arms.
That we were inseparable. The best of friends.
Yet, sometimes life unravels. We do not have the foresight that we need to
avoid our mistakes.
You needed me. Afterall, you were only a child.
I was not aware of it, but I had begun to cry while I was lying awake thinking
of you.
In my mind, I had been explaining to someone that I wish that I could have
protected you.
It was an insignificant conversation, among insignificant people.
It was only you that mattered.
If only my mind had not wasted time relaying to others the conversations
that I needed to have with you.
It was yourself who really needed to hear it.
