Sweetie, it's gonna be a long time before you stop thinking of him. He touched your life and for that you should be grateful. I know that you must be saddened by what happened but you also need to remember the good times that you shared. I don't think that anything that any of us may say will help you because this is something that you will come to terms with in your own way and in your own time.

In a couple of days it will mark the three year anniversary of the death of my daughter from a tragic car accident and I can tell you that it's something you will never get over. My daughter's friends have been calling all week to see if they can come over and have a sleep over and talk. They like to go to the cemetery and put flowers out there together. They all have their good times and their bad times. This time of year is tough on them even after three years. You are going through a stage right now because some of the shock of the accident is wearing off and it's setting in. I describe it like this. When the accident first happened I didn't know how to deal with the pain, everything was tough. With time you will learn to live with the pain and it won't be as intense as it is now. I'm so sorry, and to make things worse there will be some who will tell you that you should get over it, well the amount of grief that you have is a direct correlation of the love that you had for this person. It's not easy, just do what feels comfortable to you. Feel the feeling that you have, it's part of the grieving process. There is a really good book that I found very helpful and it made the most sense to me out of all the books that I read, it's called Grieving the Pain and the Promise. Your life will never be the same, that's OK. You will learn things and be a better person because of how you learn to deal with this loss.

The Water Bug
Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in a while one of their colony seemed to lose interest in going about with its friends. Clinging to the stem of a pond lily it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more. "Look" said one of the water bugs to another,"one of our colony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you think she is going?" up,up,up it slowly went.... Even as they watched, the water bug disappeared from sight. It's friends waited and waited but she never returned. "That's funny!" said one water bug to another..."wasn't she happy here?' asked a second...."Where do you suppose she went?" wondered a third....no one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled.....
Finally one of the water bugs gathered it's friends together. "I have an idea, how about the next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk, promises that they will come back and tell us were he or she went and why!" 'We promise they said solemnly.
One spring day not long after the very water bug who had suggested the plan found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up he went. Before he knew what was happening he had broken through the surface of the water and fallen into the broad and free lily pad above.
When he awoke, he looked about with surprise....
He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come over his body. His movement revealed four silver wings and a long tail. Even as he struggled he felt an impulse to move his wings.... The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from his new body. He moved his wings again and suddenly found himself above the water. He had become a DRAGONFLY! Swooping a dipping in great curves he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere.
By and by the new dragonfly landed happily on a lily pad to rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why he was right above his old friends the water bugs! there they were scurrying around, just as he had been doing some time before. Then the dragonfly remembered the promise. Without thinking, the dragonfly darted down. Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly, he could no longer go into the water...... "I can't return!" he said in dismay. "At least I tried, But I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back not one of the water bugs would know me in my new body. I guess that I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too.
Then they'll understand what has happened to me, and where I went," and the dragonfly winged off happily into its wonderful new world of sun and air......

If you want to talk feel free to contact me. I have a few other poems and stuff I can share with you if you're interested. Again, I'm so sorry for what you're going through, with time it won't seem so bad, but there will be things that will trigger memories and even cause you to cry at the weirdest times, again that is OK because it is a part of the healing process.

I lost my cousin last July, she was as close to me as my sisters and a very dear and special friend..she was only 24 and left behind a beautiful daughter who just turned 4...there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her and miss her..but for me I find comfort in knowing that watching me cry isn't what she would want..she was buried on her birthday and we celebrate that day by releasing baloons with smiley faces in hopes that she sees them..we all find our own ways to carry on...live, laugh and love...that is truely what your friend would want for you.

dont worry about it, it takes time to get over things.
somethings never go and death of close mates is one of these things.
dont worry about it, if you do it'll just make u feel depressed.
