I knew it was going to happen. There was no avoiding it. Silence was always comfortable and I knew that even though we weren't talking…you were there by my side. The first day the void felt awkward I knew it was inevitable. I wanted that hug you always gave, the one that encompassed my fears and told me that everything would be alright, but I knew that it would be impossible- my fears could no longer be comforted. They had become reality.
