I was holding on to you. I was holding on to us. And it was killing me.

“If you have come through this life bruised and scarred, I hope you are kind to yourself when you see where you were and where you've come to be. Life handed you the journey you were meant for even though it's one you never asked for. Your lessons, brutal as they came, have aged your soul and proven the strength of your spirit. This life is fleeting, and the mountains are waiting. Rise up. Speak out. Love hard. Fall down. Get up. Get up. Get back up.”

“I search for you in faces I don’t know hoping something about them will remind me. One right word and I can hear you. One right look and I can feel you. I’m slowly gathering pieces of my familiar. They say you’ve been gone long enough that the things I never told you shouldn’t take so much of my mind. But you were the promise of a different kind. So lifetimes I will search for you with no shame, darling I still go weak when I hear your name.”

“Never did exist a finer time than the love we made inside this mind. It’s a lonely brand of sad missing someone you never had.”

“One by one each petal fell until what bound us withered away. Turns out those I thought I needed never planned to stay. So now I stand more sure than ever, I grew strong enough for the storm I’m meant to weather.”
