To Mark,
And to my love for you that’ll forever remain.
Saudade. (n.) A nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that is distant, or that has been loved and then lost. “the love that remains.”
Maybe that nostalgic longing I’m feeling right now is to be near again to those memories that we had. Those words that we shared. Those promises we thought we’d never break. And those memories that we could have done, could have made possible, those plans, those “I love you’s.” Everything.
And I’m writing our story, maybe, just maybe, for me to never forget, or to always remember. It’s just the same. Both reason means I don’t want to lose every last single detail of everything. Every joy I felt. Every tears I shed. Whether it was good or it was painful, or it was both, I don’t want to lose any of it.
