When Haru Was Here

by Dustin Thao

It’s a feeling that comes and goes, reminding me that even in a crowded room, I’m still alone. That no one even knows I’m here. It’s like there’s a wall between me and the rest of the world. I’m always on the outside, staring through a screen.

I’m lucky I had you in my life, too. You were more than a sister to me. You were my best friend. Will miss you forever. Love always, Eric

I’m sad we never got our first dance. But I’m truly grateful for everything else. You’ll always be my best friend. And I’ll never forget you, okay? I hope you don’t forget about me, either. Love, Eric

I know you would have come if you could. I saved a seat just for you.
