Grief is a funny feeling especially when I'm grieving someone who is still alive yesterday I hated you the day before I was so mad at you that I oddly couldn't stop laughing but today right now I cant seem to stop crying I kind of miss you but the you before everything happened the you that I didn't loose I wish I could have done something anything I know I was only fifteen but there must have been something that I could have done or said I miss you So much I'm not sure when you stopped being the version of you that I once knew Some days I wonder if she even existed Grief is a funny feeling It's something that I never understood before I feel like It doesn't count as grief because you are still alive yet all I seem to have left of you are the memories of us the day on the beach is my favorite wind in our hair our matching hoodies that I will never wear again you helped me get down to the sand because I had hurt my knee badly that same day laughing at nothing as my mom stood there taking photos of us having the time of our lives enjoying every single moment I didn't know it then but four months later I would help get you caught doing the thing that ruined us I didn't do that to get you in trouble I did that because I was worried I needed you to stop I wanted so badly to save you but just couldn't I loved you I couldn't help you and that hurts and I'm sorry

3:58 PM " I wish that I could help you, but I can't do that. I can't."-David Sheff (Beautiful boy 2018) I wish we could have watched that movie together.
