Because life doesnt stop here.
It doesnt end because you left.
My eyes were red and swollen.
My legs were tired and my head was spinning, but I woke up.
Because life goes on without you.
I went to work and mingled with all my coworkers as I usually do.
They couldnt tell that I was broken, they couldnt tell that I was falling apart.
I still found the words to fill the empty pages.
I still found the will to write.

I still found a glimmer of hope for a brighter future again.
Yesterday I was dying, but today Im alive.
I went out with my friends, we talked about boys, love, fashion and our next vacation.
I laughed at their jokes and they laughed at mine.
I smiled for the camera when they were taking a picture of us.
I danced with them when our favorite song came on.
I didnt let the pain of your absence stop me from living my life.
Im going to make new memories in every corner that reminds me of you.
I came home feeling the loneliness permeate every cell of my body.
I tried to sleep but my thoughts kept haunting me.
I tried to stretch my body, fighting the heaviness of my heart.
The pain is too heavy to carry this time.
The pain is harder to handle this time.
The pain may not go away this time.
But Ill still sleep.
Ill still pray for guidance.
Ill pray for happiness.
Ill pray for love.
Ill ask God for a better life and a better future.
Because life doesnt stop here.
It doesnt end because you left.
It doesnt end with all of the scars you carved.
It doesnt end with your wounds.
Time will heal me.
The world will heal me.
The scars will eventually fade.
