Hello darkness, in 2023

I said goodbye to you today.
Your hands were so cold.
I wanted to memorize every line of your face, I wanted to remember how your fingers felt entwined in mine.

It’s so hard to sleep without you. It’s hard to be awake without you too.

I needed more time, Babes. We were supposed to have all the time in the world. The rest of our lives, Babes.

I miss you. This grief is crushing me. How much pain can one human being bear.
