  • My memory fades so quickly. It scares me, to not remember some things.
    It makes me happy, to not remember others. But I want to hold onto
    certain things – and those certain things are often times the one that
    slip away the fastest. I can recall the glisten in his eyes, though.
    When we said hello, when we said goodbye, when we said I love you, when
    we said I miss you. I can vaguely remember his touch though, it feels
    like lightyears away – as if it was all a dream, and I imagined it all.
    My mind still feels like it is in a different place. And I don’t know
    why, and it’s bothering me that I feel this way.

    I gave him everything I had. I told him to take my heart – that I was
    allowing myself to love him harder, deeper, longer than I ever imagined
    loving anyone. I made that choice. I’ve always believed that
    unconditional love was a choice – that you had to make that choice to
    stay in love. No matter what, I’ll stick by his side. We’ve already had
    so many issues and disagreements, but somehow we’ve made it through. I
    always used to give up. I almost gave up on him once. That was a stupid
    mistake, but I look back and think that maybe it was worth it. He
    chased me. Maybe that wasn’t the best test in the world, but it worked.

    My memory… remembers the smallest, sometimes insignificant, yet
    utterly romantic things. I just found it really cute catching him
    looking at me when I was sleeping, or him putting the comforter on me,
    or him deathgripping my legs with his. I don’t know, it was nice. Nice
    in the way I never thought it would be, but then again, I didn’t expect
    much. I never expect much. I just go with the flow; well, I’m trying to
    at least. Let what is, be.

    I just wish I could remember his voice. I remember a little bit – some
    slight words he might have said, but not how it sounded when he said I
    love you. I want so badly to recall that. I long for that, desire that,
    need it, want it. And I just heard him say it yesterday. I forget the biggest things the quickest.

    I feel like I have nothing to say as of right now. I haven’t had much
    to say in a while. Nothing I can write will ever justify anything, it
    feels like. No one will ever understand, no one will get it. I could
    say a million things and really, I don’t know why it would matter.

    I’m in a rut. I need to get out.
    Meh.

    I miss Anthony.
    I need him here with me.
    But I’m still thankful he’s in my life.

    I have been thinking too much, there hasn’t been enough on my plate to
    keep me from going slowly insane within my own mind. I am allowing
    myself to analyze and overanalyze every word, every movement,
    everything. Idle hands, or for me, idle life… is bad. I need
    something to do, somewhere to go, someone to talk to. Or something.
    Anything. I feel myself shrinking into nothingness, and that is not
    good.

    My room still smells like him, and I don’t EVER want that smell to go away. It’s so heavenly.

  • I slept with one of Aaron’s shirts for weeks, until he took it back with him. It never lost his smell. Sometimes, in the night, I can smell him again. It is still a comfort. I hope Anthony’s smell remains a comfort to you as well, no matter what the future may or may not hold. You are going about it all just as you should. Just to let was is, be. Well said. Kisses, Kate
