I miss him. It makes me sad we aren&#8217;t even friends anymore. Cause I&#8217;ll always love him. He was my whole world. And then he wasn&#8217;t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope one day we&#8217;ll see each other again. We will, right? I mean how can we just never ever talk again? That seems absurd. One day. One more time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the new blink 182 song, I had been thinking about him today driving to downtown, and then that song came on the radio, and I just really felt it. It hit kinda hard. And where he used to be is now just a hollow emptiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My best friend. I could tell him anything. He knew me in ways no one else did. He understood me. And I understood him. That sounds dumb. So dumb. But I don&#8217;t know how else to describe it. He changed me, and my life, in so many ways, big and small. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was November when he first visited. There was a day of the dead festival in Tucson. For all its flaws, Tucson knows how to do a day of the dead processional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and then today I stumbled into the Denver&#8217;s day of the dead festival. I wasn&#8217;t there for that, I didn&#8217;t even know it was happening. We were downtown wandering around, visiting museums, and then suddenly there we were. It was just very serendipitous and wonderful and it made me happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2190\" height=\"2400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/img_9206-2190x2400.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-3471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/img_9206-2190x2400.jpg 2190w, https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/img_9206-1095x1200.jpg 1095w, https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/img_9206-137x150.jpg 137w, https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/img_9206-768x842.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/img_9206-1402x1536.jpg 1402w, https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/img_9206-1869x2048.jpg 1869w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2190px) 100vw, 2190px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One day.
