I wish I could have known you more. The moments we had, a lot was spent in silences. For someone who cannot sit still, I still felt comfortable in the silences with you. You were always well dressed, soft spoken and with sharp wit.
I remember holding your hand one night and I didnβt know if I would ever be able to know you more or ask you more or help you in any way I could. Yet we sat in the silence and I knew you didnβt want me to let go.
I can never look at a crisp pale pink shirt again, not without thinking of you and how meticulous you were every day, no matter the weather or the occasion. Because of you, I realise itβs always good to keep a pen in my purse, you never know if youβll need it for a note or for scratching out lottery numbers.
The geographical distance meant I was always going to be far away. Now youβre even further. But still, I am glad you are at peace. The silence I feel tells me that you are resting. Please rest well.
