The theory of letting goDear J, / I may be at a loss for words half the time, and the other half I might have too much to say, but I can almost always say this; I love you. I have felt fear and I have felt bravery and I have felt loss. I can look pictures of us and I can recall everything we did that day. I can listen to videos of you and I can tell what you felt. And I know that you didn't think I was paying attention, but I knew how you looked when you thought something was unfair. And I knew the look in your eyes when you saw the light just right in a sunset and you knew that nothing could ever be recreated quite like that. I felt the same way about you. / Wherever you are, know that loving someone isn't a matter of feeling something or not feeling something. It's a matter of knowing what you're feeling and when you need to let go.

HangedI hung myself today. Hanged? Whatever, point is I hanged myself today and I'm still hanging. / I feel fine. Just bored. I keep hoping that someone will come home and cut me down but then I keep remembering that if i knew someone like that I wouldn't be up here. Bit ironic, right? Or is that not ironic? I read somewhere that, like, anything funny is, in some way, ironic. But I don't know if it's funny or not. I don't think my brain *owns* "funny," you know? / I feel taller. I like that.

You left the world's most beautiful stainWords cannot explain the depths of my misery that I bare inside, for all the times I did you wrong. / You are the one person who was and is ALWAYS there for me, your PERFECT in every way, I love you so hard I would die for you? / Why do I question such acts of loyalty?

The Forest of SunflowersI live in a forest of fallen sunflowers, old and wise, they speak to me of the days gone by / When the sun sets among the wilderness blaze, they tell me night is befalling, and I must make my departure / They tell of decades ago, how they’ve watched as humans lived their lives, most rotten in nature
