This Time Around

I really thought this year would be different; easier somehow. I thought time and healing would stop the pain, or at least make it more bearable. But I just feel alone, now more than ever.

This year around I feel like I’m the only one that still carries your memory, even though I know that’s not true.

For some reason I can’t stop longing for someone to understand my pain, to know exactly what it feels like…
