It hurts not having you close, but it would hurt even more not having you at all. -Khalilah Stelle.
It hurts if someone tells you they don't want you, but it hurts more if they don't tell you. -Aziel Mercellus.
Death can cause great pain, separate one persons to everybody, ruin promises, dreams, fun, and can be very devastated to those who is close to him/her. The only difference is that they may be gone, but they couldn't be forgotten in the mind and heart.
