One night I texted my best friend that I could not sleep,
he agreed to keep me company until I felt drowsy.
I sat there in darkness, lying on my side. As I said,
"I can hear my heartbeat on the pillow".
He did not understand this but somehow,
it meant a lot to him.
Months later my best friend took his life,
as I grieved in sadness, I looked at my phone
as a boy texted me and told me..
"I heard about your heartbeat,"
