spring came again, and I find myself wondering how time flies by so fast. just yesterday it feels like I was holding your hand, and reveling in the time we had left together. and now, I am left to once again pick up the pieces from the aftermath of a tragedy, one that I couldn't prevent. losing you was the hardest hit I've taken in years, and it's the one thing that I will never fully recover from. I don't regret a single moment I spent with you, because those memories are precious and I don't want to forget them. I spent months being angry and bottling up my feelings because I couldn't comprehend losing you at such a fragile time. when you said you were ready to go, I couldn't understand the words you were saying. and it's been almost a year, and I've tried to be patient with myself, just like you advised me to do. and the sun peeks out every now and then, and I am reminded of how very lucky I was to have you. Oh how I wish you were here; I think you'd like the way the sun lights up the trees. Happy spring, you wonderful soul; till we meet again.
