For the Quiet Thief
<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I knew you’d go one day. I just pretended my hands could hold time.</p><p><br/></p><p>You were my map in secondary school-the loud one who dragged me from the back row, who said “try again” when I folded my test and called myself useless. I became me because you kept pointing at a version of myself I couldn’t see. Now I walk that road without your shoulder next to mine.</p><p><br/></p><p>Liver trouble-that quiet thief. I wish I could’ve fought it for you, carried it like I carried your notes. You held my hand when I apologized for cracking apart, never judging. Sorry sounded small with you.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wasn’t there at the end. The one stretch you needed me, you left. I’m the strong girl you bragged about--thanks to you. You’ll never see her.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yesterday we talked about you leaving the hospital; today you’re gone. My tears won’t bring you back, but I need people to know I had the best girl ever❤️</p><p><br/></p><p>I miss you. I miss you when I hear a song we had on repeat, when I catch myself starting a sentence you would’ve finished. I miss you in quiet rooms, in the courage I finally have. I miss you in every good thing I do, and in the spaces where I still don’t know how to be me without you.</p>
