you know, i was always fine with being alone. i didn't have many friends as a kid. no one really talked to me and if they did it was because they needed something, and i was okay with that. i found it nice being able to do what i want when i wanted without having to worry about others. but having you gone, i've never felt more alone in my life. it feels like there's a hole in my chest that can't be filled by anyone except you. i had so many things wrong with me when we met, but you didn't try to fix me, you just held my hand while i tried to fix myself. how do you recover from losing someone like that? you being gone hurts so bad and i miss you so much, but i'll be strong for you, because i know that's what you would want me to do.
