journal twelve.

And I think what hurts the most

is the forever I imagined —

that forever with you.

I think back

to all those talks

of being side by side

forever,

to all those jokes

of our eventual, inevitable

“I do.”

Now all those conversations

of exploring the world together,

of growing old together

are no longer true.

How painful it is,

to forget

that dream of forever with you.

Raw and unadulterated — this is how I typically feel things. And when I feel these things I think I feel, I write. My little pieces of comprehension have taken the form of words jumbled together on your screen. A masterpiece? Probably not, but welcome to glimpses of this incredible life I get to experience. I do hope you’ll stick around.
