The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.

I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.

I said “I love you” when I meant something much more specific, I should have said ‘Please don’t leave me, I’m afraid to sleep alone.’

I miss you when something really good happens, because you are the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you are the one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry because I know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you most when I lay awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other; for those were some of the best times of my life.

It doesn’t matter what happens to me. I am one of billions. I am stardust gathered fleetingly into form. I will be ungathered. The stardust will go on to be other things someday and I will be free.

We can’t expect the world to be better than we make it.
