In the absence of an angel we turned to the devil.

There will be love, there will be love stronger than the stupid things we do and then forget. "And even if we never talk again, please remember that I am forever changed by who you are and what you meant to me."The people I've met through this, those I've shared stories and problems with, and those of you whom I've only communicated with through the reblogging of posts, you really do mean a great deal more to me than I ever could explain. I only wish you all find exactly what you're searching for.

“Why does the mind do such things? Turn on us, rend us, dig the claws in. If you get hungry enough, they say, you start eating your own heart. Maybe it’s much the same.”

“There are times when I do not feel your loss so much. Which is not to say that I am beginning to forget what it is like to miss you. I will never not miss you. That is something I am sure of. Your absence will always be with me in the ways you cannot. I will continue to see you in every sunrise, hear you in every song, and feel you in every heartbeat. Your time on this earth was much too short. I am constantly reminded of it much too often. But lately, my chest does not seem as hollow as the moment we parted ways.”

“Life was not to be sitting in hot amorphic leisure in my backyard idly writing or not-writing, as the spirit moved me. It was, instead, running madly, in a crowded schedule, in a squirrel cage of busy people. Working, living, dancing, dreaming, talking, kissing – singing, laughing, learning.”
