I Can't Reconcile My Feelings

Gerard,

Lately you have been on my mind more than usual if that is even possible.  Someone in the family gave me some secondhand news about you that I cannot shake.  Apparently, this burden is harder to bare than I realized because all day long at work people keep asking me if I am okay.  I give the typical Gerard answer "I'm good," but no one believes me.  Like the song says "it's written all over my face."  I do not know if I will ever get used to missing you.  I don't know if I ever want that feeling of hurt to leave me.  I do know though that I cannot reconcile my feelings about you.  

In my spirit I feel as if you knew something that needed to be shared.  Knowing you as well as I did I know exactly why you didn't share the information, but damn Gerard I really wish you had.  All of this is somehow making me feel as if I didn't do my job.  My uncle asked me to look out for you and take care of you.  I did it the best way I knew how.  Despite my best efforts something important fell through the cracks.  And now no matter what I do or how hard I pray, I cannot turn back the hands of time.

Damn Gerard......

I don't know if you let me down or if I failed you.  Now there's nothing anyone can do.

I wish I could be angry with you because that would probably make missing you so much easier, but I can't be mad at you.  I don't think I have ever been mad at you longer than a day.  Who can stay mad at their best friend who always forces a hug on you and smiles.

And while this is over Gerard, it's not over.  You owe me some answers.

Until then...... I am blowing kisses to the sky for you.
