I was about to sleep tonight until I got an sms from a friend. Bad news, it said. I almost did not continue to read but I was still awake anyway. So I did. I just lost a loved one. I got scared and got out of bed. I had to talk to someone, my brother was still out and I didn’t want to wake my mom. I almost did call someone but I shouldn’t. I called my friend Rhoda and asked if she got the news already. I was hoping to get a yes from her because I don’t want to be the one to tell her the sad news. But then I had to. With my voice shaking, I told her. She was shocked as I was when I got the message. Silence.
Ey is one of the few people who I rarely see but I consider a good friend. She was one of the few who I can share anything under the sun, and yes, one of the few who knows my secrets. We became friends since college. We were groupmates, classmates and we used to hang out a lot in school. There are so many things I would miss now that Ey is gone. (Or probably just around, watching over us. Hope not!).
I would miss her weird laughter, her mole, and her almost squeeking voice when she’s excited. I would miss our short chats over ym. I would miss a friend who is there to listen and give her two cents worth on things.
Ey is in the sky. There she can be by our side.
We’ll miss you EY!… 051408
