Carrying grief at a young age means every single milestone and happy moment is forever tainted a little grey.

Simply because you are not here to celebrate it with me.

I am not going to make my grief small and palatable. My love wasn't small either.

I was driving home today at the edge of dark, the time perfectly in between night and day. The sun was setting, and it was the most beautiful sunset I had seen in a while, so many bright shades of pink and purple and orange like tie-dye in the sky. There were no other cars on the road, just me, and it was so peaceful. All I could think about was you. I could almost see you sitting there in the passenger seat, smiling at me. I think you were there with me, probably wearing a tie-dye t-shirt to match the sunset. I could feel it. I bet you see tie-dye sunsets like that every day where you are. I bet you helped paint this one just for me.

I hope you find someone you can’t live without. I really do. And I hope you never have to know what it’s like to have to try and live without them.

I hear you sometimes. I just know it’s you. Even if it isn’t direct, it’s a feeling so present that I can’t ignore it, even if I tried. Even though you’re not with me, at least not physically, I can hear you, I can see you; and sometimes, that almost feels like enough. Sometimes when it feels like you’re light years away, you remind me of your light. A light so captivating, so deserving of the attention that it gets. A light that simply cannot be ignored.
