a friend- lost and found

Thought of writing about this a long time back but some how couldn’t get the right words to describe what I actually felt inside.
Searched the net for some real life experiences to know how people feel when they loose someone they’re close to, someone they love, someone they know, someone who just was there and was not supposed to leave!!
But could find none. Couldn’t find anything that could tell me how should I feel. Couldn’t find anyone who could tell me the way I was feeling was normal or not!! Even I have not been able to judge it till date- a month n 3 days later!!
So I finally decided just to write, write about both of us! Write about all of us!!
This is about my friend azhar hussain whom we lost on 23rd feb.2006.
My 1st recollection of our association goes back to 1995, when we actually interacted for the 1st tie. What an interaction that was!! Not too sweet to be remembered but now that he’s not with us any more, cant help thinking about not only the good memories that we made together but a few bad ones too…just cant let go off any memory that we made together!!
After class 5, I come straight to class 12th…this was when each and every single member of our class became friends. We faught, we laughed, we did everything together!!
And this is when me n azhar became real good friends!! A scholar of sorts he was really hard working when it came to studies n a cricket fan to the core! A great cricketer himself he won many accolades, every now and then!!
This is the azhar everyone knew, but beneath all this was a small little kid who was just waiting for his pair of wings to fly away into the wide blue sky. Beneath all this was a small kid with sparkling eyes, who wanted not everything under the sun but certain things that would’ve been enough to make his small little world shine bright forever.
He found happiness in such small little things that it made one realize how beautiful this life is, its just about seeing it the right way!!
Though we had not met for almost a year now but sometimes it’s just enough to know that a person is there…somewhere.. But now I know he’s nowhere, nowhere close where I can reach him.
Now we just meet, in our memories that we carefully crafted together!!
We are really going to miss this very special friend that we had. We, cause I speak for each and every one who ever knew him. This is how everyone must b feeling at this moment; cause Azhar made each one of us feel very special in our own way!!
So this is it, I owed him these few minutes which I spent writing about him.
Though he’ll never be around physically but he can never literally leave us.
Though I lost a friend, yet I think I found a person who'll never be not remembered or lost!!
May his soul rest in peace.
