Sleeping Sickness

My heart is heavy today. It is that familiar hitch in my chest, that pain that reminds me that you are gone and that no matter how much time passes I can never see you again. Three years and I have felt every day like a splinter under my skin. It digs in a little deeper today and I do not understand how I feel like I have gone an eternity without seeing you and yet at the same time it feels like just yesterday. I do not understand. Not a bit. Because you were too good. You were such a good friend, so loyal and caring. You deserved this life, you deserved to grow old and be happy. This is not fair. You should be here right now. I shouldn’t have to carry you in my heart. I should be able to see that smile glowing from underneath that orange beanie. I should be able to wrap my arms around you and tell you I love you. But I can’t. You’re gone. And that will never be okay.
