A Letter to My Friend
My Dearest Friend Chi-Chi,
I thank you for all the support you have given me since the lost of Vegeta. Words can't explain the sense of gratitude I feel. Being friends with you has helped me put threatening thoughts out of my mind. You would always come over at the right times, which were the times I needed you the most. I just wished that I could have been as helpful to you as you were to me. When Goku died, I had endless amount of sympathy for you. Goku was my friend after all and a good one at that, yet I couldn't grasp the vast feelings you must have felt. He was more than a friend to you, I realized. I tried to be there for you the best way humanly possible. I tried to comfort you, give you my condolences, and cheer you up. I just didn't understand or couldn't relate to the anguish, the deepened sadness, the loneliness, and the pain that scarred your soul. I do now. And you were there for me even when you didn't understand how I could love a man like him. You were still there for me and you understood what I was going through.
When Gohan lost his life to the androids, I realized how you must have felt; he was all you had left. Again I knew, but I didn't understand. I, again, did my best to help. I invited you over for dinners and birthday parties. I even invited you to live with me because I knew you were lonely in that house, yet you graciously declined because you didn't want to intrude on my son and I. Now my son is gone and I have nothing left. I now understand how you feel; the intense loneliness echoing throughout the contours of your very being. I understand now. I know how it feels to roll over and come in contact with nothing; to come home expecting to be greeted with love and only to be greeted with silence; to cook food and have no one to eat it; to have a birthday and have no one to celebrate it with; to have no one to hold you at night; to have no one to tell you that everything's ok in his own special way; to have someone to laugh and joke with; and hear those three special words that makes the hell you went through that day seem worth while. I understand now and I wish I could go back in time to be more of a friend to you. I would have stopped you from taking those pills and made you realize that you are not alone. You still have someone to love and who loves you dearly. I would have told you that I understood how you felt; that life isn't worth living without someone to love and to you. I would have said that I was still here and I love you like a sister and together we are not alone. We are family and we can survive this.
But now you are gone my sweet friend and may you forever rest in peace, but I am truly alone now. How can I escape this never ending loneliness? I look to you again for advice and you once again give me your words of wisdom. I shall see you again soon my dear friend, real soon. I once again thank you for everything.
Love Your Friend,
Bulma
