Closure.

One by one, each rose to their feet and read their tearful ‘custom-made’ letter, which was written in Georgie’s handwriting.
Only a few hours before he had been placed beneath the earth, motionless and silent.
I was his best friend, or so I thought, but my letter suggested otherwise.
I flattened my tie and cleared my throat. Everyone's eyes were locked on me now, waiting for me to make my way down to the coffin, where my former-best-friend was lying dead.
I couldn’t even feel sad for you in your own funeral, mate.
Heat was radiating from my brain and into every bit and tissue in my body. I was furious.

It was just lying there, harmless as it once seemed, in my mailbox with my name on it- black on white. Ironic enough, I remember thinking to myself that a person who sends letters these days must be either tying the knot or getting buried. I was right about one thing, well kind of.
