“Well, sure. I’m human, and that’s a very valid fear. But his absence is something I still feel to this day. It fades, but it never fully goes away, even knowing he’s not with us anymore. Losing a love like that leaves an emptiness behind, and no matter how hard you try to fill it or what you try to fill it with, you can’t. It’s a bottomless pit in the center of your heart, formed perfectly in the shape of them.”
