Denrelu Edun remembers late Goldie, visits her grave

Derenle Edun pays tribute to Goldie

It’s been  Five years worth that Nigerian female singer, Goldie died. MEdia personality Derenle Edun pays tribute by taking fresh flowers  to her graveside, he also disclosed that he rocked her dress and promised to raise a glass of wine on her 38th birthday come October.

Derenle shared photos of his visit with the caption: “Dearest friend, you have been dead for FIVE YEARS now. I can’t say it has been easy learning to live without you. Heading into year FIVE, I can say I have started to make real progress. I can talk about your death without crying. I can look people in the eye and tell them how you died. And now I finally feel like I can be honest with you. Okay, not with you per se, but I can be honest with myself about you. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never see you again. It was incredibly difficult to reconcile my desire to see you again with my belief that there is no afterlife. I used to look for you everywhere, hoping that you were watching over me and sending me signs. But I don’t need you to linger anymore. I am finally at ease with your passing. It shouldn’t have been a secret that I loved you for being more than a friend and closer than family. While I was completely satisfied with what I thought was the ideal platonic male/female relationship, I know others thought that we could be perfect for each other. How serendipitous it would have been! It pains me to admit that I think about you more now than I did when you were alive. I stare into your negative space and fear that one day I will go twenty-four hours without pausing to remember you. I let your tense slide from present to past and even past perfect.”
