My best friend and I were the greatest of friends

Even when times were rough

The fun never ended

I loved his contagious laughter

his optimistic view of the world

And his confidence in exploring new things

Even though I have social anxiety

he was always there for me

And I felt that everything was going to be okay

Until that fateful day

When he went rafting in a river.

The waves were too strong,

Gushing up and down,

And then he drowned.

My heart broke

In many pieces

Scattered across the floor

And I couldn’t breathe for a while

He had the kindest soul,

Like when snow falls

He would glisten in many ways

And was never sad

It’s such a beautiful sight,

But as life is,

All good things come to an end,

Not always though.

Some good things never end

Unless you make it a bad memory

So i cherish the happy moments I had

In the coming of many new memories to explore.
