Love lost is far worse than losing not at all. It's been ten years since I left, and my heart still tugs for him. He was the embodiment of my rage and darkness, a side I would never dare to return to. I have restarted my life and am now engaged. I can't go back to my old ways, but as the best woman at my friend's wedding, I once again see those green eyes, and my world stops.

Iver 
Being sober for nine years is no easy feat, but nothing in my life has been easy. Losing her is a pain I could never relieve, a memory I cannot erase, and a guilt I hold in my soul forever. Every song I listen to carries her in the lyrics, a phantom that remains and never leaves, and I don't want her to. Once I hear that cynical laugh across the room, I cannot seem to breathe anymore.
