On Thanksgiving Monday,
I am looking out my bedroom window onto the street to see cars lined up along the curb that I have never seen before.
  For me, It would usually mean a happy sight, it means unity and love because each car carried a family.  
Each car carried a family to another family's home where they will share a family dinner and reminisce on past family occasions.
This will be the first family occasion without my family and that saddens me.
What's a Thanksgiving dinner without your family to share it with?
Sorry for the rant

Lying naked.
Feeling exposed.
My fingertips stretch to all corners of the bed, exploring cold under folds of the sheets.
Comfort is found on the underside of the pillow, in the dip of the bed where your body usually lies, in between the warm and slightly cold sheets.
Despite it all, you leave me
Lying naked.
Feeling exposed.

In this world we live in, people live.  Just simply live.  
In this world we live in, people die.
People die.

Is it more complicated to live than it is to die?
Or isn't the complication of dying, leaving everyone else behind?

What if you woke up tomorrow, only to find yourself dead?
How complicated would that be?
What about your mother, sitting by your bedside, waiting to hug you again?
What about your best friend, dreaming of the day he could talk to you again?
What about your siblings, that are too young to understand but will have to grow up the rest of their lives without you?
What about you. Is it so complicated to simply live? Or simply die?

In this world we live in, people die.
Simply die.

Let's beat the odds.
Because there is nothing more satisfying than doing something everyone thinks you can't do.
So let's beat the odds.

I don't wanna live in a world without you.
To others who don't know you, life without you is no different than what life is now.
But to me, my whole world changes.
I lose sleep.
I can't eat.
The sky gets darker.
The weather reacts to my emotions and soon after I'm caught in a storm.
Tossed and tangled.
Confused and alone.
When will you return so that the sun can come out again?
And the birds can sing and the flowers bloom?
When will you come back and save me from my own destruction?
I don't wanna live in a world without you.
A very special person in my life makes me feel every emotion all at the same time and it is beautiful and terrifying.
