When I Need It Most.
November 17, 2014
Even
though it has been almost four years since we last shared memories,
the
hardest part to accept is that you’re in a better place now. you were too
strong
for too long. I wanted you to see me graduate high school, college,
fall
in love, but you left us. You had no choice. you had been
down
here suffering for too long. I feel like you visit me
sometimes
when I need it most.
