I Have Something to Say

CW: Suicide

An old friend of mine killed himself last week. We hadn't been close in years but I knew he was depressed. I could see it in his face and when I saw him at the grocery store I asked him if he wanted to talk. He said no and I understand why. It's not like normal sadness. It's the feeling of prolonged hopelessness for your life. He was a good person and I was sad.
