Thinking

She’s no more.

"She's gone" said people

I kept silent

"But that's impossible"

I thought

(even though it was not)

She was smiling so brightly the last time I saw

Now it's been a while

Since I heard that

But I'm scared to ask what happened

I had only known her for a few months

But she had become a cherished friend

If only I hadn't met her

Maybe that would have been better?

For I wouldn't have been so miserable

Knowing that she's no more

She's no more?

It seems so implausible

Even now, when I am feeling nothing

She's no more?

I had a bad day today

Called a friend to whine about it

I ended up crying

Not about anything other than the loss

I'm not mature, I'm not that strong

I don't know how to deal with this.

The last time I saw her

She said we will meet after many days now

We said our goodbyes

Why was that the last time?...
