The love of my life, the sweet boy who asked me out while tipsy on my seventeenth birthday, seems like a shadow of himself. The way his voice breaks as he asks the doctor, "There's no other way?" could move mountains, move oceans, but I'm neither of those things. I despise that I'm neither of those things.
