I told myself I was never going to fall so fast.

The truth is, we can’t control when our time will be up. Even under unfortunate circumstances, like when we’re told we have a certain amount of time left, we never know for sure.

I found your work uniform shirt. The one you took off your back the night you broke up with me, all because I wanted something of yours to remember you by.

Her love was found through the arms of friends who wiped her tears when she didn’t have the strength to do it herself.
