“The hole in my heart, I can’t even begin to describe. It’s hard when you open your heart and let someone in and then suddenly they’re not in it anymore. It doesn’t matter whose fault it is; that empty spot stings so bad that you want to find any kind of relief, or wrap yourself up so tight you can’t feel it anymore. I knew it might be there a little while. Or maybe even a long while. For both of us.”

“She had hope in her heart but after a while, with each step forward, hope stepped back.

His hugs were always a preamble to something else and after he was gone, I wondered if he ever knew me at all.”
