“But she was right now, and she was back then and she was the future so what am I supposed to do when the person I loved most in this world makes me want to leave it because I’ve already seen the world in her.” ~ N

There are 7 billion people in the world, but the day you left, it felt like there was only one. Scratch that, there wasn’t even a full person left because I invested so much of myself in you that you packed the best parts of me in your overflowing carry-on. Normally I hate messes, but as you stood there ready to leave, a crying mess of mascara stains running like black rivers down your flushed face, I smiled. I smiled as my heart broke, because even in your worst moments, you still looked beautiful. I smiled while you left me. God, how f*****g stupid am I? Why didn’t I chase after you? As you slammed the door to the only place we’ve ever called home, a picture frame of you and I at our high school graduation came crashing down to the floor. That’s all it took to wake me up from my daze. You were gone. You were really truly gone. It suddenly occurred to me that I’ve never had to live without you, and I’m not so sure I want to. For what is the purpose of seeing the world, when I’ve already seen it all in you.
