A Tribute to a Friend

This is a sad day. A Childhood friend passed away. Died of a brain hameorrage or a high blood pressue. Well that remains unclear and i may never be able to find out. Or maybe i don't want to! I know no one in his family. Had not seen him for the last 15 years or more. Even as i write this his funeral is happening. No one's told me or called me ....but i just know it. We were close. We were good friends.
We are always saddened by the death of our loved ones. This is a natural human trait. This emotion is deeply ingrained in our hearts. Therefore we mourn the loss of our loved ones at the funeral. But when you come to think of it, funerals are not really for the departed. Funerals are for those who are left behind. There is no doubt in my mind that the "deceased" wonders why those who are left behind are saddened, when he is in such a blissful state.
Blissfull State?? Well i don't know how is it to be dead....but they say death is just the begining of life!! If that be true i hope he gets a good life after death.
I fought with him over a trifle issue and said "i will never talk to you again".
It was only yesterday once i knew of the tragedy that i realised i hadn't thought of him for the last so many years. Well i could have told him something. Just anything. A simple 'Sorry' could have been good for a start. But i don't think i will be able to say any of that now....
I lost my time with a friend ....i lost my opportunity to say sorry ....i lost my friend.......

WHO DIED ??
