"I stay beside him like his shadow, yet he leaves home only after dark."

"I stay beside him like his shadow, yet he leaves home only after dark."

"I need to spread my pillowcase in the sun every morning to dry the wet traces of grief I left behind the previous night."

​"When you start loving someone so deeply that you don't realize whether you love the man, love the love, or love the grief it comes with."

​I didn't know there were glaciers behind those curtains of my vision, until the ice melted and dripped, stinging the place that once used to be crinkled with joy.

"You don't realize how much you love him until the tears yelling his name run down your throat, hurting it from the inside out. Until something twitches inside your stomach and you have to clutch it so hard that your nails leave a mark—leaving you hollow and full, all at the same time."

"The tears paid the price for the sins my eyes committed."

"Leaving you without even saying goodbye will be the only regret I would ever have, since heaven couldn't give me the same peace our last hug would have."

"The tears didn't come when the storms were raging; they came when I thought the storm had already passed."

I spent half a decade of my life gazing at the moon from afar, wondering if I could ever hold it. Yet, in my own longing, I somehow forgot the price it took to realize that I was never the only one captivated by its golden glow.

"The tears didn't come when the storms were raging; they came when I thought the storm had already passed."

"Leaving you without even saying goodbye will be the only regret I would ever have, since heaven couldn't give me the same peace our last hug would have."
