Where We Went Wrong

by Kelsey Kingsley

The old are generally bitter. They hate that their time is so limited. They hate that they wasted so much of it, they hate that they took so much of it for granted, and they hate how there was never going to be enough, even if they’d lived to see their one-hundredth birthday.

“If I ever do hurt you, you'll leave. You got me? You won't stick around for any reason.”

“I love you. And I can’t think about you not being there, okay? If you die, I’ll die.”

None of us ever really know how long someone we love will be in our lives, but we can hope that no matter how long we have, we love them enough.”

Damaged does not equate unworthy.
