"They never fully leave. The memories. They're always there, tearing me apart."

"I was getting better, but then I remembered you."

"And the truth is, he misses her. He misses her so much. He misses her all the time and it hurts physically, mentally and emotionally. Most days he gets up out of bed and immediately falls to his knees, because it feels like he can't breathe. He goes through the motions of the day, thinking of her. She's never off his mind. And, at the end of the day when he goes to sleep at night, she's his last thought, and when he wakes up, she's his first thought. Because, she may be gone, but the memories are still there."

"Everyone thought she was fine. No one could see her falling into darkness. No one realized she was drowning in her own pain. No one ever realized how far gone she really was. He guessed no one ever realized that the girl they were talking to wasn't really her, just some illusion, a memory of what other people wanted to see, and he guessed that's what hurt her the most. The fact that no one ever noticed that she was gone."

"Then, after she was truly gone, they realized that the girl that they were talking to wasn't really her, and they all said that she was a nice person, then they moved on with their lives, and forgot all about her after a while. But he won't forget, no matter how hard he tries to. She'll always be on his mind, and it's now he realizes that was what tore him apart. That he was with her, twenty four seven, all day, every day. And even he saw it too late, and he knows in the pit of his stomach that it's his fault, and he can't make amends. And that killed him. It's then he realizes something. That in life there is no happy ending. Just disaster. A few weeks later was when he left, when his heart stopped beating. He was right. There are no happy endings. At least now, they can be together."

"Because, if you love someone, and keep loving them, no matter what, even without being loved back, even to the point where you'd get hurt for them, crushed and battered and broken for them, then that love had to be real. It hurt too much to be anything else."
