I feel like I've been thrust into a vast ocean I can't understand, that I'll never understand. Does anyone actually understand life? I need a life vest, but I'm not wearing one. I'll tread water for a while, but my body will grow too tired to continue, and I will eventually drown in my own ocean of tears. The ones you gave me, when you left.
They say that memories of those we lost will hurt more at first, but that, with time, they become something to smile about, to celebrate, to comfort. But it's been years, and that's not happened. I can't think of you without breaking down, I can't look at your photo without my heart skipping multiple beats, and I can't escape all your favorite things, it's like they follow me, reminding me that you're still right here with me, even though I can't see or hear or touch or smell you again,
