how can i miss someone who is in the same room? how can i feel lonely when you sit beside me? how can there be such a distance between us when i could simply reach out and touch you? i look at you and my heart tightens. time is already counting down — so much of it, and yet so little. i fear the day when you will be gone. when i won’t hear your laughter, won’t see your smile, won’t catch your familiar scent. i know you will be fine. i know i will become just a memory. but you— you will remain a part of my soul forever. i wish you as much joy as the pain i carry. as much happiness as the tears i have cried. i mean it. from the deepest place in my heart i wish you only the best.
