you died and i'm still alive // river

by riveraleka

when i fall asleep at night i dream of the color of your eyes and how your hands won’t ever hold mine i dream of your voice and your laugh i loved your laugh, it was so full of life i try to remember our happy times sometimes i think of you too much and i start to sink in the pain for the space that will no longer be filled with your face like how i won’t get to say good morning to you anymore or to tell you how much i hate your guts and you’d say you love me anyway and maybe at that moment you would’ve loved me even more i feel so lost without you here i don’t like admitting i won’t ever get to call you again on the phone or even the way i felt when i wanted to punch you in the face for every word you spoke at least it was real at least i could get mad at you now all i can do is wish you were here so i could feel your warm embrace just always remember, please remember i love you so, i love you so i miss the way you looked at me like i was your everything and more and though you turned my world upside down you’re the one who made it whole now my heart’s left behind and though it’s beating i don’t feel alive i miss your hand in mine i miss all your lies i miss the nights you’d make me cry but it was alright, because you were still alive and that made everything fine
