“I loved every broken piece of you, the way you loved every shattered part of me.”
But I can’t help but want to know all about her. She’s your favorite person in this world, and you’re mine so . . .”
The boy puts all the stars in the sky for you. Always has.
Whatever he did, or you did. I don’t know. I don’t really care to know. I just want you to be happy, and I know that silly boy makes you shine brighter than all the constellations in the sky.”
It’s the first time in a long while I didn’t feel like I was failing you as a mother for being so lost in my grief.
I hope you never lose that. The ability to love everything the way it was meant to be by our creator. The stars, the trees, the flowers.
You find such beauty in the world, Georgie girl. Never lose that. Always choose love, happiness, forgiveness. Life is too short to be stuck living in the ugliness of it all. Choose love, always. And remember that I love you, most of all.
We collect everything in a comfortable silence. My mother always used to have this saying when we would spend time together in silence. Love needs no words.
It causes every butterfly in my stomach to take flight while my skin feels like it’s on fire where he touched me.
How could I have stayed away for so long when she smiles at me like I hung the damn moon for her?
“I searched for you in all my dreams. You haunt my every thought. Tempt my every desire. My heart only beats for you,”
The pain is still there after every loss, but it’s getting more familiar to cope with. I haven’t decided whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing yet. Nobody wants this type of grief to become easier with time, but unless you’ve experienced it, you wouldn’t know that this form of grief never truly leaves you. You just make room for it.
