Sleepless nights,
Tired beyond belief,
Feeling very sad,
Unbelievable grief,
Loss of a good friend,
Decent, kind, and caring,
Now I just sit in silence.
I have lost my bearing.
Life must go on,
But it's difficult for me.
It pains me to lose my buddy
Who was only twenty-three.

So very very sorry Steven, it is a lonely road grief, find someone to share your feelings with, it is just a bit less heavy then, talk and hug and cry...and write.
My condolences; very hard to lose a friend, especially so young
