The end of hope

Dusti Shay

--

I sit.

I sit. And I sip. And I want to go back.

Not back really, for I don’t wish to unlearn the things I’ve gathered since I’ve grown.

I want to bring you forward.

I want you alongside me. Enjoying this life together like I’d always imagined.

My grief is the same in that way. I grieved your loss long before you died.
