Everyone watched as you slipped into a coma. Quietly, subtley, your mind exited the room of white walls, white sheets, white everything. Why are hospitals always white inside? It makes me jealous more than anything. We all watched your consciousness recede. But then, I wasn't there, was I? You wouldn't know, I think. You wrote me a note to say goodbye. A final note... Why? You lost so much blood, sweetie. Just how many pills did you need?! Was the knife not enough, you had to overdose as well? I miss you so much. I would always hold you when you cried. It's my fault I left. I kissed you goodbye while you slept. I still love you. Forgive me! Come back to me, my run-away friend.
