Elegy

I can never find the right words when someone dies.

I never knew you like I should have.  Our friendship was casual and occasional and barricaded by distance.  I didn't know you, not really.  I didn't know about your past or your dreams, only your present.  Your partner is my friend and I knew you through him.  He loved you more than anything and now his loss is deep and infinite.  I will miss your kind words said during our raids through the virtual Azeroth.  I know it is an admission of our mutual nerdiness, but that is where I knew you best.  We were both more interested in history, lore, and skill than egotistical gain and that fueled our gossamer bond.  Goodbye, friend, you will be missed.
