Shit, I had forgotten how much a hangover hurts.

Imagine my surprise when I woke up with a letter that I do not remember writing to you! Apparently I had decided that I was going to do this frequently, so why not do it daily?

Today is my last day at home. My mother said that I cannot hide away from reality forever, she thinks that I am in denial. But I am not.

I know that you are dead and I know that you will never read these letters. So I am not in denial. I just don't want to attend my classes tomorrow. I don't want to see people looking at me with pity in their eyes. I just want to avoid them.

I hate the way you are making me feel. I used to love going out and hanging around people, and now I just want to stay in my bed staring at the ceiling and being lost in my thoughts.

The ceiling reminds me of a book I once read when I was a child, The Man in the Ceiling. It was basically about a boy who was horrible at sports but was amazing at drawing. And he reminds me of you. How can you possess me to a point that a frigging ceiling reminds me of you?

Maybe my mum is right, it's time I leave my room. Maybe me going back to my classes will take my mind off of you, seeing as we never went to the same school and I might not feel your presence in everything I do.

But then again, I am not quite sure if it is what I want. It seems like everything I do is to try and get you off my mind, and I am scared that maybe I will succeed and the only things I have left of you (our memories) will vanish into thin air.

There I go contradicting myself. Seems like my "paradox drunken theory" also happens when I am sober. I wonder if you have ever noticed that about me, maybe you figured me out by accident. But then again, you knew everything about me.

I really hope I also knew everything about you. That when we used to hang out you wouldn't hide away from me. I am a judgemental person, but how would I ever judge you?

Fuck, I hate cancer.

If it weren't for that you would probably still be here, and I would probably not be going crazy out of my mind.
