Head Above Water

by C.E. Ricci

But even death has nothing on losing someone who is still alive. Knowing someone you love is still walking this Earth, going about their day-to-day life, just not part of your life anymore.

Heartbreak is part of life. Losing people we love and care for often comes with getting older. But we always make it through to the other side. We always survive. We don’t have any other choice.

Because, after all this time, one thing still rings true. I’d sell my soul to see that smile.
