I sit on this bench and it still feels like you're beside me. Not really there. Just close enough to notice the empty space where you should be.

I never asked for this version of you β€” the one that only exists in my head now.

Some days he just needs something to hold onto.

It's the same for all of us, really β€” we just trade the teddy bear for something else. A jacket. A photo. A voicemail we've listened to a hundred times, because listening is the closest thing we have left to hearing you.

What do you still catch yourself reaching for?

Some nights I look up and wonder if you're just a little further than the stars.
Distance never really breaks love β€” it just changes the address, from here to somewhere unseen.
Maybe that's why the sky feels so close sometimes; it's the only place that still holds you.
πŸ’¬ Do you ever look up and think of them?

I still say your name the same way I always did β€” like you're just in the next room.

Everything moved forward without you. I moved with it, because I had to. But it will never look or feel the way it did when you were here.

He doesn't have the words for what he's feeling. He just holds on tighter to the thing that still smells like home.

Missing you is hard enough. Knowing there's no version of tomorrow where I see you again β€” that's the part I can't wrap my mind around.

He wasn't a man who said the words much.

But I felt it in the way he showed up, every time, without being asked. I still go to him even now β€” kneel down, close my eyes, and tell him the things I never got to say out loud.

If I could have five more minutes, I wouldn't waste them on words.

I'd just want your arms around me one more time, my head on your shoulder, however long it took for the tears to finally stop.

What would you give for one more ordinary day with them?

I've survived a lot of things in my life. Nothing prepared me for this.

Some days I still don't know how I'm upright. I just know I am, and that you'd want me to keep being.

Nobody walks this road for you.

Friends show up for the funeral. Family checks in for a while. But the long stretch after, the one that never seems to end β€” that part you walk alone, no matter how many people love you.

He holds it so gently, like he already understands something the rest of us take years to learn.

My mind still talks to you. My heart still looks for you in a crowd, out of habit. I know, somewhere, you're at peace β€” but knowing that doesn't stop the missing.
