Sudden. Unexpected

 

I've just lost a friend

No chance for goodbye

Why did it happen?

As yet don't know why

 

In a few days

I'll meet with some friends

Discover the why

Discover the end

 

Sudden, unexpected

No chance for goodbye

Life can be cruel

Inside I cry

Life burns you when you reach out for friendship and lose it Don, as you perfectly sum up in a simple message for us.

Time takes no prisoners, Don - I knew a similar shock in 2018.
Best to be glad it happened rather than be sorry it's gone.
Chin up!
