Today marks a year
since you left. It feels like an eternity and no time all at once. So many ups
and downs for me with so many changes, and yet some things remain completely
unchanged.
Like that empty
place that you left behind in me. I'm not sorry for that space. It's simply the part of me that will always
belong to you, no matter what my future holds. I hide myself from the world in
that space more often than I care to admit. Even when things are good, I keep
part of myself in the safety of that space.
I'm so thankful for
the time I had with you and even more thankful for the time I still get with
you. I still love to see your name pop up on my phone and the sound of your
voice still brings a smile to my face every time you call.
I know that you are
well. I know that you are happy. And at the end of the day, that's what matters
most.
But, I still miss you dearly. 💋
