Forgive me for grieving the most important person in my life.
Forgive me for never wanting to "move on".
Forgive me for holding onto everything I remember in the hopes that I grow into a woman she would be proud to call her daughter.
Forgive me for not grieving on your timeline.
I'll put it all away again. Because I thought letting you in would help, but it has just hurt me more. I'll hold the tears back, and I'll put a smile on my face if it comforts you.
You'll never have to know my pain again.
It'll mine and mine alone again, I promise.
