i would have loved to have grown old with you in this lifetime, liam.
however, it wasn't meant to be.
to remedy that, i vow to tell my future children about you. i will tell them about that little boy from wolverhampton who auditioned for x factor, was rejected, but knew that he destined for more. how you tried again and was put in a boyband in 2010. i will tell them how you rose from the bottom of the stairs to the top of the world. i will tell them how you conquered the world alongside your brothers.
you will live on in the stories we tell the next generation. no one will ever forget who you were, liam. your legacy will live on. we will make sure of it.
someday, when remembering you is no longer painful, i aspire to be able to look at this period of my life with fondness. despite this pain of losing you, i realized the impact that you 5 boys have made in my life. i've always said you guys saved my life but losing you has put that statement into perspective. i firmly believe that i wouldn't be where i am today had i not clicked on those "funny moments of one direction" compilations on youtube. you changed the trajectory of my personhood and made me believe that there was more to aspire for.
if there is such a thing as reincarnation, i fervently pray that i be reincarnated alongside you. i hope in that lifetime, i get to see you grow old and achieve what you deserve-- the success that you never got to see in this lifetime.
see you in our next life, liam. in that lifetime, i pray that you finally win.
