Our story, which began in September 1987, continued for almost 36 years until you suddenly left this cruel world. Life has exhausted and worn us all down, but you perhaps more my friend. Every survivor continues to live with a sense of guilt because we can't avoid the passing away of our loved ones, but every person who leaves adds another scar in our hearts and we take the burden of those who leave, like an untiring porter of life.
In the days when we were drinking rakı at home, Zeki Müren always had the last word when talking about love, friendship, the future, or when you were playing "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton on the guitar and I was singing it. You are not my old friend but my timeless friend Onur and you will remain so forever. Don't let the place where you rest hurt your beautiful and delicate soul.
