Submission 247

To my forever,

I think about you so often. I think about the moments that I fight to remember. I think about the time we were so out of it under the stars, talking like life together would’ve lasted forever. I think about when you made me promise to continue life for us both incase something happened to you. I giggled, you didn’t.

I think about the moments during & after, how much shock I felt. It hits me now, I’m angry. You had so much ahead of you even when you thought otherwise. I wish so badly you were here. I wish, & I wish, & wish, & wish to everything & everyone that the world didn’t fail you.

I’m sorry I wasn’t enough to save you. I hope you’re watching & proud I’ve stayed alive this long. I feel behind in life sometimes & grow envious of everyone for their seemingly perfect lives, but then I remember not everything is as it seems.

I’m alive. I’m content with myself & my identity. I’m excited for what the future holds for me. I’m alive, for us both. Long live your legacy, my sweet Adri.
