"I am good for a while, I'll talk more, laugh more. Sleep and laugh normally. But then something happens like a switch turns off. And all I am left is with the darkness of my mind. But each time it seems like I sink deeper and deeper. And I am scared........terrified that one day I won't be able to make it back up again. I feel like I am gasping for air screaming for help. But everyone looks at me with confused faces. Wondering what am I struggling over when they're all just doing fine. And it makes me feel crazy.
What the hell is wrong with me?"
Veronica's POV:
"Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
Times forever frozen still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holdin' me closer
'Till our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
Wait for me to come home"
Imminent rays of sunlight were now making their way in the room, through the windows, waves of wind blowing my hair in a light wave, the curtains were all dancing with the rhythm of the wind. The sun was just emerging from the horizon, light coming through the trees behind my house like the sun had fought a battle with the moon all through the night and finally had gained victory.
I was at the piano, singing a song my mom used to sing for me when I was little; it was Ed Sheeran's photograph.
"Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it's the only thing we take with us when we die
We keep this love in this photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Our hearts were never broken
Times forever frozen still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holdin' me closer
'Till our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone"
Ed's songs soothe me. Mom was an expert when it came to singing her voice was so good, I could listen to it forever. It would be a norm for dad to find me either listening or dosing off on this very bench beside mom. I had once recorded mom's voice when she sang. It is the only thing I have of hers along with a photograph that I hung in this room, and a letter I got when I turned 16.
