Crying is cleansing. There's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness.

The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.

I wonder if that's just how it feels to miss someone so bad? Like being stabbed in the gut a little bit, each time you think of them.

If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?

I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real.

I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.
