I don't think I would've let you go that day, I think I would've begged for you not leave, and.. the same thing would've kept happening everytime you tried. I don't wish that today wasn't the day you died. I wish that we could go back in time to april and I could save you from all the pain. I'll admit it, I haven't kept my promise of remembering you every day through pain, that I've stopped hurting, something that I didn't think was possible a year or two ago. The tears won't come, and I don't know why. Maybe I used them all up last year. Old nyx would be disappointed in me for not crying, for not sobbing for you to come back. But I think you would understand. Atleast I hope you will. I've always been scared of forgetting you, and today it felt as if my worst fear was confirmed. I didn't cry for you, I couldn't. Sometimes I feel guilting for "moving on", for healing. But then I remember how everytime I watch a video about a friend, you pop up in my head. How every sad song reminds me of you. How every time someone mentions April, I remember you. How I used to look for you in everything I do. Maybe it's selfish. It probably is, but, that's all I have of you now. Fleeting memories that come and go, like a shadow. I promised myself a year ago that I'll keep your memory alive by letting the guilt and pain stay in my heart. But I think I've realized that you wouldn't want that. You'd want me to be happy. And I think I am, after realizing how I somehow find you in everything I do now, without even looking sometimes. And I think that's enough, for you to stay beside me like a shadow. With how often I think about you, that's it hard to notice you're actually there. I'm sorry I didn't cry for you this year, but I'm glad you were a part of my life, and that you will be by my side for the rest of my life, no matter how many years go by, I'll always remember you as the Angel who endured so much, and I'll always be so proud of you for coming however far you did.
