I feel so sad and my heart feels so torn apart
I don’t know what I was expecting
I thought I was clever enough to be more guarded
I didn’t think I would let myself start hoping again
But I did
And now I feel like I was slapped awake
And I am spiralling trying to breathe all over again

"Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."
