OUR FRIEND, NIZEYIMANA MARTIN – HARD TO ACCEPT, BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE— REST IN PEACE
By Dr. Havugimana Alexis
Your passing was so sudden,
A painful message knocked on our hearts, shaking our strength.
A terrible day struck us unexpectedly,
You left quickly, without many words.
We were left with deep sorrow,
And unfinished words from our last conversation.
You told me we should plan our projects,
To align them with your studies.
We spoke about dreams that reached far,
Your words were full of hope,
Full of warmth, full of passion.
You were always kind and gentle.
That last meeting didn’t feel like a goodbye,
You never said it was our final talk.
Your humility and calm spirit
Were gifts you left to those who knew you.
I remember you sharing high school memories,
And I too had passed through that same place.
We shared history, building on that foundation.
Life changes, the world keeps turning,
But our love never faded.
Our communication was meaningful,
It was the foundation of a lasting friendship.
Now you’ve departed so unexpectedly,
An accident made you a prisoner of time.
You vanished, you disappeared,
Leaving us overwhelmed with grief.
I was speechless when I heard the news.
I was on my way to see you,
I had reached the parking lot of King Faysal,
When I was told — and I dismissed it as a mistake.
I didn’t want to believe it.
But as the minutes passed,
Our hearts began to accept, words failed,
And the truth revealed itself in sorrow.
An hour later, I gathered my strength,
And realized what I had heard was real.
Our plans turned to dust,
That final conversation… you were saying goodbye.
Your death left a gap,
A deep void full of pain and sadness.
It was when I saw you at the mortuary
That I finally accepted you were truly gone.
I said goodbye to you, through heavy tears.
You were an exceptional friend, a pride in our work,
An honest, reliable colleague,
Your friends carry the lessons you left behind,
Your legacy lives on in our hearts.
Rest in peace, Nizeyimana Martin.
May God receive you among His own.
To your family, friends, and all who loved you,
We stand with you, offering strength in this sorrow.
The love you left us will remain,
Your beautiful character will never be forgotten.
Your lasting memory
Is a true and eternal legacy.
We will always remember you, Martin,
We thank you for the light you gave us,
We celebrate the paths we walked together,
We will miss you — endlessly.
Rest in peace, Nizeyimana Martin.
