The Unlucky Girl

You were always next to me in Ms. Yeo's office
When I got a nosebleed from being abused by other kids.
I always remember seeing her get angry every day.
It was always fun going to the nurse's office with you by my side.

All those years of being alone,
You were the only one who was always there for me...
That cheerful smile and optimistic light really gets me a lot,
Even though I didn't really deserved any kindness from you.

Remember when Brendon told you that he liked you at recess?
That moment was just really cute
Because I knew that you also had a crush on him.
But still, you stayed the best friend I ever had there.

And then, that damn breast cancer struck upon you...
How stupid of me for not really knowing what it was at that time,
Thinking that you were going to be okay when it was impossible.
I don't think I smiled for a long time when you passed away suddenly...

I miss you so much, Victoria.
We were like sisters when we were little girls...
I guess I was the lucky one and you being the opposite,
For I knew that I was going to have to move on alone...

Author's Notes/Comments:

I never knew what cancer was

I never knew what cancer was until a few days after I heard that she died :/ I was asking everyone where she was and if she was okay. I hope that your family member will be okay and if things go wrong, then always remember to be strong and remember that they'll always be with you; they'll be with the wind.
