Hasta mañana. I still remember All the things you said I wish I could have been there That night you called. Maybe things would be different. I miss my best friend. My brother. I miss doing lunch and doing coffee. I wish I was more aware of the severity of your problems. I could have helped you. I'm shocked you kept so many secrets from me. You knew all my secrets. I wish I knew about the darkness you were battling. I still miss you so much and I wish you were here. I'm lonely. Danny always had his nose in his phone reading anything and everything on wikipedia. He spent a great deal of time educating himself and expanding his knowledge. You could ask him anything and he'd know about the subject. If he didn't, he would immediately read up on it. Him and I enjoyed choosing animals that people would be. For example, I was a sloth because I was super slow and slept lots. Figuring out Danny's animal was tough. I reffered to him as some sort of perhaps lizard or a leopard, he liked the idea of being a leopard. Because he was slick and quick. Every payday we would go for lunch. We enjoyed drinking coffee and going for food together. Our plan was to start trying random different restaurants all around the city. We also planned to go to the zoo once the weather warmed up. He would often joke and say I was his student while he the teacher. After all he did teach me a lot of stuff. Danny and I would have the best time doing amything or nothing at all. We enjoyed each other's company and we were quite content with just that. We would have long conversations about random stuff. Or sit in silence yet completely comfortable. Like we had known each other forever. Our relationship was like a sister brother kind. He had this massager egg and would always ask me to rub it as hard as I could over his back. I was scared cause to me it looked like it would be painful. I didn't like doing it and often wouldn't do it when he asked. Now I wish I did. I still remember the very first time we spoke. I'll never forget the way he responded when I said, Danny? "YoOo" !! I remember he came to my parents' place and we chilled in the basement. Our first time actually hanging out. It felt so natural like he was already my best friend I'd known for some time. Basically we did as much as we could together. I remember tagging along while he went to a job interview. We would shop at polo park. Work together. Spend weekends together. Danny was very intelligent and had a witty sense of humour. He took pride in his looks and was indeed very handsome. He was a smooth talker and very slick. He kept his circle small and loved those who were in it. He had a good heart with good intentions. I've never had what I had with Danny with anyone else in my life. Our friendship was simple and real. More like siblings if anything. We fought and argued like siblings. But we loved each other like siblings. Once in a while my heart will ache and yearn for him. I think about all the times we had and all the times we never had the chance to have. I would have done so mamy things and so many things differently if I had known he would be leaving us. He'll always be my best friend. No one can replace him. He's forever in my heart where he's safe and sound. - Posted by: Kaitlyn (Best friend) on: Oct 23, 2015
