3 years, 5 months, and 27 days have passed. I still carry this void in my soul, and probably will do for the rest of my days. Still, somehow, it is as if you had never left. It is amazing how when someone is the furthest away, you can feel them closer than ever. This process would have been a lot more painful, and that is no easy task, had I not found that one item. It´s the letter you left for me, it´s in those words that I find comfort even in my darkest days. In some way all the right words flowed through your hand, like water through a river. That letter has been sitting on my wall, framed, for as long as you´ve been gone. It´s seen me shed tears of sorrow, as well as tears of joy. It´s seen my proudest moments, and some I would like to forget. It´s been there through major points of my life. My first day of high school, boy was I terrified, but those words motivated me to go through it with my head held up, and my heart on the right place. It´s been there for my high school graduation, as well. It was there when I got accepted into college, furthermore, there it was for my first day there. Well, while that letter has been alongside me through all this, it wasn’t supposed to be like that. It should be you who got to be here through the thick and thin. We should´ve walked the path of life together. But hey, maybe we are walking together after all. Because for every curve ball life throws my way, I know exactly where to go to. It´s those words that made such an impact on me, that they became engraved on my body, and are part of who I am. Now, wherever I go, as bad as it gets, I got those words to fall back on. Because those are not just words, they are your words, they are you. When I find myself reading them for the hundredth time, I can fell your hand on my shoulder, I can smell your perfume, I can hear your laughter. That is what has kept me from breaking, what has kept me strong, I know it´s on me to take care of things down here. That letter will remain with me for as long as I live, and so will you.
