Was listening to a particular song from Jay Chou's albums from my ipod and was reminded of Lionel.
Coming to three years to his death anniversary, i have never been able to come to terms with it. Yes, even now, i still feel that he is able to pop out in front of me any moment, claiming that everything was just a big joke. If it is, wouldnt it be great.
The many "what ifs" that float through my mind whenever i think of him. The many regrets that i always carried whenever i saw something that reminded me of him. He was such a great friend, a generous and open friend and yet, i never treasure him until he died. The day when loads of friends shed tears for him. I wonder how he felt when he was looking at my grief from up above.
Relieved of his pain or sadness? This, i would never know. For i know, those who lived on, especially those who caused his death indirectly, would carry that streak of regret to their graves.
But i, even though with the regret that i still carry, i never once regret knowing you. That is Lionel, my friend.
