[bodytext] => What will you remember of me (when I am dust & gone)? My tearful journey? My struggle at love? Will you think you knew me (best)? Did you feel the way I missed you whenever you weren't near? Too much to even speak aloud. . . My pain was like a thorn (so deep) my skin grew over it to mask the hurt. . . No hope amid the colours of wishfulness & stray attempts at normalcy (or something even close). Jagged edge of sanity like holding onto shattered glass your words have raked my mind a thousand times over. & in your tone some truth rang out as to my insensitivities. . . How could I? Why did I? What, oh, what was I thinking? You were so small. Your infancy made me scared & brave at the same time. . . Hoping that I knew all the things that I did not. . . I have drowned in my attempt to be. . . yet you have loved me. . . still.
