The one thing we can never control in life, death. Some people die in the glamorous demeanor, yet others may have an uglier fate. Like a rose, we all start small and helpless, like a rose bud. As we grow, we become more protected by the ones around us who love us for who we are and for whom we love. They are the thorns that surrounds the rose stalk, the ones that make us who we are, and the ones who make the rose bloom with love and beauty. People come and go in our lives, they come for a reason, to change you, or for you to change them. They are the ones who make you who you are, who make you matured and even more you. And my friend, my dear friend Kaiyan, you touched my heart and you left a beautiful memory in my life.
For two long years, you harbored the scars in the memory of a terrible nightmare, and the nightmare has come back and taken you away. I met you for the very first time on the netball court, the way you would make a fake pass and the seriousness in your eyes when you shoot, they left me wanting to play harder each time i touched the ball. The way you fought against the pain and the way you tried to keep us from getting too sad for you, it left me impressed at your determination. We visited you at your house, we saw you and your cheery face, we thought you were okay. God knows how hard it must have been trying to keep that smile on.
You went back to school and you wore a beanie, and you tried to ignore other people's insensitive remarks. And like a miracle, you recovered, and we graduated from secondary school thinking that everything will be better for you from then on.
I want to say that im sorry, although its too late, although it may not reach you, but im sorry, because i failed to keep in contact with you as a friend. It was so sudden that i got to know about what happened to you last night, it came so quickly, i didnt know what to say.
But this is what i have got to say, as a rose, you were great, you were a beautiful one and your petals came off in the most amazing way. I believe you are in heaven's arms now, and i believe you are finally at peace, away from all that pain, together with God.
For Kaiyan, who was strong and touched our hearts.
