November 25, 2005:

My friend.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

I'm so grateful for all your help over our years together.

All that time you kept me safe. Even when you were mortally injured.

I'm so sorry to say goodbye to you now.

Goodbye. Thank you so much.

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
