Broken Crayon
None of us could tell when our journeys end, and I'm not yet ready to see yours. I will never want to lose you—because I know what it feels.
Losing someone you love is having a limb chopped off.
It is immensely painful and it always leaves a scar. It prevents you from doing things the same way ever again.
Just the thought of losing you drowns me in my own tears. Your death is inevitable, but still one of my greatest fears.
I would spend many sleepless nights thinking of you.
You said that broken crayons can still color. That I just lost my point.
I already died, but you sharpened me again.
I won't cry a river when you're gone; I might as well create an ocean. What you did might be temporary, but what you left will remain eternally.
Your demise will mean my second death.
