The day he texted you 'Hi'

You ignored his message

You thought,

"He will do the same casual chats like

How are you?

Have you had your meal?

What are you doing? and all that"

And when he texted you after a month or two

You again thought,

"He may have some sorts of work with me that is why he's texting me as he does this only in need"

So you left his message unseen yet again

And did you remember the day he called you and said, "let's meet for sometime" ?

You denied saying, "I have some works"

Though you were free

But did you give a thought?

What if he genuinely needed to talk to you about some serious issues or problems that he was going through?

Had you replied to his text that day, maybe he would have gotten strength to fight his depression and a friend to talk and share his problems to.

Had you met him that day, maybe he would have got some power and support or maybe he would have felt being loved and cared

A month, a week and even a day could bring about a drastic change in anyone's life.

Time heals

But time kills too

And a little shower of love and care, a minute of genuine conversation can help someone combat the depression

Now with your 'Rest in peace'

You are showing your love to him

Had you shown this love a few days before, may be your friend would have been with you today - smiling and enjoying his life

And you would not have written 'Rest in peace' for him
