When you experience loss, people say you’ll move through the 5 stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. What they don’t tell you is that you’ll cycle through them all every day.
Each second can never be repeated, retracted or relived. So if someone gives you their time, you should appreciate it for the precious gift that it is.
The last time I felt alive – I was looking into your eyes. Breathing your air, touching your skin, saying goodbye. The last time I felt alive, I was dying.
I didn’t love you to seek revenge. I didn’t love you out of loneliness or unhappiness. I didn’t love you for any of the misguided reasons that time might convince you I did. I just loved you because you’re you.
I think perhaps I will always hold a candle for you – even until it burns my hand. And when the light has long since gone I will be there in the darkness holding what remains, quite simply because I cannot let go.
