My friend

I never saw your face

At least

Not in real life

But I got your texts

When the lights went off

And the nights turned cold

You warmed me with your words

We knew life

It wasn’t a fairytale

It wasn’t a game

I knew it

You knew it

I remember all the times you dried my tears

All the times you shared your fears

We were both broken

We were both alone

Holding onto each other

By promises and words

I never heard your voice

Or your laugh

I could imagine it

I could almost hear it

A ray of light in the endless darkness

A piece of joy in the endless emptiness

And now...

You are gone

I felt something wrong

I felt a light go off

I never got your text again

Never felt your warmth again

Never saw the light of your eyes

Or the way you smiled

Now I miss you

In the dead of the night

And the light of day

I hold onto the words you said

And the promises we made

I miss you

I hope you knew I cared about you

When you said nobody did

When your nights were cold

And your lights went off

I hope you knew

I cared for you

I miss you
