Grief

Now I know how it is like to feel grief.

For someone who could never cry or express emotions.

The loss of someone who I loved and who was like a father figure to me even though he was just my dad’s friend has been tough.

This is someone I looked up to and someone whose death I never saw coming.

He was only 47.

For those who read this, leave me alone. Do not text me asking if I’m okay.

I’ll be okay.

With time.

I always have been.
