I know I won't feel like this forever
and someday this feeling will be fleeting
but I feel like I am going to miss you for the rest of my life.
Because I imagined forever (how small of a piece we got of that in this lifetime) with you.
Now I have to rip the pages out of my diary that I imagined for us.
I have to hope I have enough pages to write a new life for myself without you.
I hurt so badly along my seams-
so much of me is missing-
past, present, and future.
