And so you left me <br />at the palisades <br />to fight our demons alone, <br />just so you can have your coffee-breaks <br />undisturbed, unobserved, unchallenged. <br /> <br />Unlike the countless times <br />we sat together and sipped <br />each other’s breath, <br />and resonated with each other’s ideas, <br />and felt each other’s warmth. <br /> <br />And now you left a void, <br />wide like your smile, <br />empty like your silence, <br />bitter like your greetings. <br /> <br />But I will always love you <br />for whom you are, <br />for what you offered me, <br />for standing by me, <br />for finding me worthy of being with you. <br /> <br />Farewell, my friend.<br /><br />Niko Tiliopoulos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-lose-a-friend/
