a simple sentence. we say it to those who we see almost every day. we say it to those far away. we say it still to those who we've lost. the degree of which you miss someone isn't based on how much time has passed since you last saw eachother, but by how much room they occupy in your mind, by how much your heart aches without their presense. i feel incomplete. the times i've taken for granted haunt me because i always wonder how it could have been different. i should not go looking for answers i know i will not find, and to dwell on the what if's would just be a waste of time, but i'm fillled with curiosities that fuel my scepticism. i've become a sceptic about love and death and what lies between. i yearn for the day when these things will make sense to me. i wait for the day where something else will feel real..something else besides the feeling of being incomplete. today i'm missing you, mom. i'm missing you because you're so close, yet so far away. because of all of the days i could have spent with you, but chose to spend elsewhere. because the circumstances make it seem impossible to ever get back into the same town together. i'm missing you today, and every other day, too, dad. missing you, wondering if you would be proud of me. missing you, just wishing we had one single day to spend together. one day for me to say hello, instead of always just wishing you never said goodbye. and you, T, i miss you as well. i think of you every damn day and i know i'm not the only one. i'm faced with your death which has hit me harder than any other one and i'm overcome with memories that make me miss you like mad. three little words, and they represent a feeling that is like no other feeling. i can't even explain how much i want you here <3
"there ought to be a place to go when you can't sleep or you're tired of getting drunk and the grass doesn't work anymore, and i don't mean go on to hash or cocaine, i mean a place to go besides a death that's waiting and a love that doesn't work anymore."
