J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

& sometimes moving on feels like betraying the dead.

for a moment you forget the loss and pain, and laugh loudly with a few friends.

but the sound of your laugh echoes in your soul, and you remember everything.

too soon you’re laughing. too soon you’re moving on.

the thoughts riot in your head.

& your heart shivers with guilt.
