secondhand bereavement

Hey, (Mister)

We all knew (of) you

It’s honestly really sad (weird)

We all were friends (classmates)

So it was unexpected (if someone in our grade would)

Because you really didn’t seem to be so upset (nobody was close enough to see)

All your friends (acquaintances) will miss (the idea of) you

(We assume) you were one of the best people we’d ever met

We all recall our favorite memories (times we were put in group projects) with you

Don’t worry. We’ll be talking about you for a while.

Hey, (Mister Morphine)

It really is truly sad (that no one cared).
