I’ve cried so much.
And yet somehow,
I know that everything will be okay.
~
My heart feels broken.
My soul ripped in two.
Nothing will compare to the time we shared.
Nothing will replace your place in my heart.
~
I think I died that day,
After we talked,
It felt like my world had ended.
Is this what my existence will feel like now?
Empty? Lonely? Afraid?
~
I didn’t think my pain could grow worse.
I didn’t think this would hurt more than before.
But it does.
~
I just want to fill loved.
Cared for.
I don’t want to hurt anymore.
I don’t want to cry anymore.
~
I’ve given so much.
And it feels like you’ve taken from me.
It feels like I’m dying inside.
Waiting on you.

Touching the Sky
Back in 2020 (yes, THAT 2020), I took my very first steps towards becoming an international traveler. I was 25 years old, and up to this point, the furthest I'd ever traveled alone from my home state of New Jersey without my family was to West Virginia.
