My Friend

I woke up today as usual and called your name just then I remembered you are gone, 

I breathed deeply  with a gasp, my heart grew heavy, there was still a scent of you in the air,

The love and joy we shared was like no other, it was unconditional, real, true and absolute,

Unlike most relationships in this event we call life. Most can be so cruel, fake and downright mean,

That is why at the end of the day there was always you no matter what, when I looked in your eyes,

I saw love, hope and a reason to live happily, if only mankind was that way.  

Despite what religion says I know I will see you in the hereafter, whatever and wherever that is.
I hope you are happy, safe and warm. You were loved You are loved. Thank you for your love.
I woke up today and called your name.
