one lonely night, 2008

to my good friend,



I thought of you today, how we used to study together in that lobby day and night
my good friend whom i consider a brother, thank you for being there,
where did you go, where have you gone to?

let us re-institute our friendship again, you disappeared so suddenly,
where could you have gone to, away from your brothers , dear friends,

i search longingly, i look forward to seeing you again
yet, i know it cannot be
i yearn, my friend, to visit you again,
to visit you with a boquet of roses on one hand,
someday

my friend, dear friend, where are you when i need you most..

robert,
my friend,

why have you gone , why have you gone to the land where i cannot follow?
my heart still aches, robert, hurts to the coming realization of this finality
let me cry with you, let me embrace you again, my friend
if tears could be shed, it would, for i have cried enough, tears fallen enough

the question that remains, that continues to haunt me, is why
why?
i have missed you, our conversations, i have missed my best friend
i miss your voice, now when i need you most, you who i have divulged the feelings of the heart,
have you forsaken me?
why?

someday, robert, someday i shall visit you
and on that day, i shall carry the red boquet of roses and kneel
so that i may lay them, robert, on your grave.

i have missed you.
