I did not cry for you. I have never cried for anyone who has left me because I have always believed that I am so much stronger than the hollow silence. But you once said I was beautiful, and you once said I was brave. You will never see me in a toga or a white dress or a maternity tee, but I hold fast to the days when you were mine to love and to look up to, and I will always remember you in hot chocolate and french braids. I'm so sorry.

I have caged all my monsters and now I keep them in the boxes underneath my bed. These are the words I have used to cage them. || I miss you so.
