Sometimes I wake up and start crying. Though, for a split second, I forget why. I do not recall the day or time, or reasons… I am merely alive. I find myself cherishing this moment because briefly I am at peace. But it does not last long, it can’t. My feeling of absence nervously awaits until the painful sensation drags me down, embraces me with all its force, then retreats. I am left alone, stuck. But I am alive… I am alive, aren’t I? No this is all in my head, right? It’s almost as if my mind keeps searching for something. For someone. regardless of how much I avoid the truth, it always comes down to y o u. I spend my days waiting, but the vivid sensation of loss continues to linger.
