October 30, 2015

It has been two years today, two years since I lost the one person that I truly loved. 730 days of trying to convince myself that his death was not my fault. I talked to him five minutes before he took the rope and hung himself. His name was Cody.

Maybe if we didn't fight that day.

Maybe if i answered one of his 24 calls.

Maybe if i handled the situation better...

Maybe he would still be here.

But he's not and when he left this earth, he took my heart with him.

This is the reason I can't love again. Anytime I start to have any sort of romantic relationship with someone else, he comes to mind. The guilt overflows my body, reminding me what happened the last time I loved.

So many people tell me it's not my fault, that a mix of events and emotions that he felt were the cause of it. But I know that if we didn't fight that day, he would still be here, with me. It was our fight that triggered him. I put on this happy face everyday but on the inside I am fighting with myself, trying to find a reason why I should still be here. I feel as if the end should come soon, I don't deserve to be alive anymore, not with him gone.
