Poem To A Dead Friend Poem by Alufa Oke Joshua

My heart is still as if you
are right by my side..Can't stop having hope of going to hear from
you soon
my heart hasn't regarded you
as a dead friend........ even when
others bids you farewell, i never
did because you are still here
in this hot world and cold words.

Should i say fate took the better
paths of our friendship?
Should i say yes or no?
You always listen to me even when
i'm being proud of my foolishness
yet at the height of our friendship
you left without even a phone call.
Now i know! why you didn't felt
comfortable when discussing the
future life ahead of us.
i was so friendly that i never
took note of your inability to feel
comforted in the future.
Now i know! you are just as important
as now.
Now i know, why you always chose
not to pick offences when you
are hurt yet death hurt you...
