Yesterday I thought of you
And the beautiful friendship we shared
You were almost like a sister
And I loved you
But somewhere down the road
Our friendship faded away
But never did my love and respect ever decline for you
Somewhere down the road we stopped spending time together as much
Both of us getting busy with school and work
And that kept us busy to a point where eventually we gave up
Playing phone tags finally got the best of us
But you were still part of my prayers
Yesterday as I thought of you
I wanted to write to you
And let you know I have been thinking of you dearest
But then my ego kicked in
Asking if she hasn’t written
Why should you?
And being the irrational
Imperfect being that I am
It reflected in my poor judgment of not writing
Regardless of whether you wrote or not
For there is never a place for ego in true friendships
This morning as I reached out
They said you have left us few weeks ago
And that Allah has called you home
On your trip to your native land
~sigh~
How I wish I reached out before
Although I can’t change the past
For we are only mortal beings
And we are surely all going to die one day
I pray that Allah bless and have mercy on your beautiful soul
And may He grant your family and friends the patience to endure this pain.
You will be missed love.
