My friend on my friends list died

I wish I sent you more messages,
I barely knew you
We were connected
only because we met twice in another country
You were one of the 400 on my friendlist

One of the ones I never talked to
by facebook standards we were considered as friends.
no conversation ever transpired
I thought it was ok to have you around as on my friendslist

now I heard you're dead
I'm confused
you were right there
I should have at least said hello
and got to know you more
I had a direct line to you
you weren't lost somewhere in the world
you were right there on my page
now you're gone

I'm left wondering
was having you on my list good enough
how many other people on my list would die
how many other people will I conveniently abandon
on my friendlist
Your death is a lesson to me
I've been doin it the wrong way all the while.
