All good things must come to an end

It is the same day as when you were out, I told myself that you would be back very soon. Sitting there, I buried myself into the paper because I knew you would come to drag me out. But, nobody came to bug me for a cup of coffee "hey, I would get a cup of coffee downstaris, do you want one?" nobody came to drag me to the union for the lunch, nobody came to ask me "hey, what are you doing?"

It is the same day as when your door was closed, I told myself that the door would be open very soon. Looking at my door, I saw those signs and pictures that hung on your door before. I promised "no whine any time," "stop hate," "to be pround of bilingual..." but only a smile left on your door, which is closed the whole day.

Had four quarters in my pocket, I only need one cup of coffee. In the front of the machine, I finally remembered what you chose all the time was. I had the same one you had before, lots of cream. After heating my lunch, I took it to your office but realized that you were not there today, I finiished it in the break room by myself. Someone said "the smell is good" but it was not you. Quiet, quiet all the time, I kept forgetting you were not there today, and since then.

I had to wrap up my stuff and rushed to the shuttle, nobody said to me"hey, I gave you a ride." I kept walking, smiling to the people in the elevator as you did the other day, I kept walking, jumping to the other's right side that is your good ear side when we were talking. I kept walking, but I couldn't see through the people when tears came to my eyes. Something is missing in such a beautiful day, I asked myself what it is. I haven't heard your laugh, haven't heard your saying "such a brat," and haven't seen you for a whole day, a day when the everything would be different since then.

They said that all good things must come to an end. I say that I am lucky to have a friend like you.
