“You know when you think you know someone? More than anyone in the world? You know you know them, because you've seen them, like, for real. And then you reach out, and suddenly they are just... gone. You though you belonged together. You thought they were yours, but they're not. You want to protect them, but you can't.”

“She wrote his name on a piece of paper
and lit it with a match.
The letters curled
as they turned dark and misshapen
until she didn’t recognize them.
They were figments of something
that she had done in her past, lost
into some other form of existence.”

“Andrei rested on a bench directly in front of a grave that belonged to: 'A father, hard worker, and beloved friend.' He leaned back, resting in the cemetery, and with each second, his desire to know more about this man
'Yeah, he’s a father, hard worker, and beloved friend. Weren’t we all at some point? What’s his kink? The worst thing he’s done to a person? The greatest thing he’s good at?' he thought. That’s what Andrei wanted to know. Not titles the man himself would disapprove of. What good was a proper impression in a cemetery filled with thousands of proper impressions? One must be indecent. So Andrei closed his eyes and imagined the father who worked hard and was a beloved friend. Maybe his kink was that he needed to do it in public—in the restroom after a date or at church during mass. Maybe the worst thing he had ever done was work so hard for his family that he never once saw them. Maybe the best thing he was good at was giving gifts to his friends. Yes, that’s it. He never gave money or handed them gift cards, but instead gave his brothers exactly what filled them the most. One year, he gave a notebook to his buddy John with the same line written over and over in painful cursive. The line said: 'Happy Birthday, you get thirteen hours of my life' and repeated until you could see the traces of hand cramps squiggling for life on the forty-second page.
'What a good man,' imagined Andrei. 'Hell of a mate.”

“It’s ok, I get it,” I said, offering him the reprieve he needed. “Maybe I’ll see you around.”

And that was how I lost my best friend.”

“वो गया और साथ अपने मेरी हस्ती ले गया
एक घर खाली हुआ और सारी बस्ती ले गया...
जाने कैसा साल था बस इक बरस के दरम्याँ
सारी हिकमत दे गया और सारी मस्ती ले गया... !!”

“But don't cry over it he wouldn't want you to cry over him. Smile because you were able to meet him and get to know him, be happy that you were able to communicate and love him. He will always be by your side and all you can do is live for him. Don't let his death be for nothing. Cherish life, sure times will be hard but you just have to persevere and push through. Just keep going and never give up.”
