I pray for my friend;
I hope he's okay.
I haven't seen him or heard from him
In more than two months.
I miss him very much.

I don't know where he is
Or what he's doing;
I don't know if he's feeling better
Than when I last saw him.
...probably not...

I wish I could see him or talk to him
Or at least know that he's okay.
I miss his hugs;
I miss laughing with him in choir;
I miss our friendly talks.

Around the end of last March, he told me
He'd lost his phone.
It seems like he still hasn't found it,
Since he hasn't been answering my texts.
I could send one more... but I don't think anything will come of that.

I really worry for him.
I know he's been struggling
With more than I can understand,
But I hope he's getting better,
Though I kind of doubt it...

A dreadful thought haunts me.
I often forget about it for a little while,
But it always keeps coming back to frighten me.
The thought that scares me so
Tells me: what if he's already gone?

I don't want to believe it,
But what if he left the world?
What if he left but no one knew?
What if everyone but me already knows?
What if he left and I wasn't there for him?

God, please let me know he's okay.
I'm worried for my friend,
The friend I love, whom I wish I could make happy.
I pray for my friend
And I hope he's okay.

Please let him be okay...
