Here I sit in a dark room with only the light of the outside world peeking through. I feel trapped inside my own mind and I have no idea how to escape. I cry all of the tears out of my body and still my heart breaks a bit more every second. I need someone to hug me and say it is ok, but at the same I need to be alone and listen to relaxing beats of nothing important. I want to go back in time and relive every moment we had together and make sure it is perfect. The future I would already know of and as bleak as it would, I just need one more moment to tell you everything I never got to because my pride took over my ability to speak. I want to laugh at stupid things again, and I want to be challenged by your intelligence again. I need you to just tell me everything will be ok and that these moments of sadness will go away and somehow just be some tortuous nightmare inflicted upon me by some higher power. I need you to love her again and to hold onto her pain and stop her tears. I need you to tell him you love him and you will always be there. I need you to help me with maths, I need your motivation, I need your kind hearted insults. I want just another minute to tell you how sorry I am for never being what you wanted me to be, and that I am trying everything to become that person you thought I could be. I want two more minutes to hear your laugh and to hear you yell at me for doing something stupid. I want three more minutes to listen to that song with you. And I want just four more minutes to show you how much you are missed and to tell you everything I have wanted to for the past year. I am sorry for everything I did or didn’t do. I am sorry for not being the girl you thought I was and I am so sorry for not appreciating you. You were truly the glue that held everything together and now that you are not here, we are all falling apart and we can’t be fixed with someone else. We need you, because we can’t fix ourselves. It is too hard and I hate seeing her so tired and sad all the time. She needs you. I need you. He needs you. They need you. But you aren’t here anymore and I have no idea why you left us. I have no idea why you, out of all people, were chosen to be taken. You were a good, smart man who loved my mother very much.
You will always be remembered because you were one of the best people I ever knew. You helped me with so much in life, and most of the time I need your help again. But when I turn to you, all I am met with is a cold breeze and a reminder of a brilliant person. You aren’t here anymore, and sometime in my life I will accept that. But that time isn’t now. It isn’t even close to now. Because when I graduate you will not be there. I will not look out to the crowd and see your face.
I am trying really hard, but I don’t think I can do it. I don’t think I can get where I want, when I want. I don’t think I am as smart as you said, and I don’t think I can be everything you thought I could be. I don’t know if you would be really proud of me, because I haven’t actually done anything yet, but someday I will do something that you would be proud of. One day I will say to myself, “yes he would be proud of this.”
But for now I will sit on my darkened room with bleak light, and cry until I continue to. I will stay in my tear soaked clothes and wish you were here telling me to get over myself. I wish you were here to tell me to keep studying and to just keep going. Because honestly I don’t know how long I can keep living. I don’t know how I can keep breathing. I don’t know how I can stay here and live with this pain. I need you to help me and to wash away all the pain. I need the pain to stop. I need the crying to stop. I need the breathing to stop. I need to stop.
