Hey
@littlecutecorpse,
I finally found the strength to come back here today, and it still hurts so much to see your thread just sitting here, frozen in time with only comments grieving you adding up slowly.
I miss you. God, I miss you so fucking much. The way you understood me made me feel a little less alone in it, the way your words could reach me when nothing else could calm me down… that part of me is just empty now.
I keep expecting to see your name pop up, to get even one more message and when it doesn't happen the ache gets bigger.
I'm so angry sometime, at the world for being so cruel, at the pain that took you, at myself for not being able to pull you out of it. But mostly I'm just sad. Sad that you're gone. Sad that you felt like there was no other way. Sad that I'll never get to tell you in person how much you meant to me, how much your existence made mine a little more bearable.
I love you. I loved you then, I love you now, and I'll love you forever. You were light in so many dark places, even when you couldn't see it yourself. I hope wherever you are now, you finally feel the peace you fought so hard for. You deserve that. You deserve everything good.
I've been holding onto your death so tightly because letting go felt like losing you all over again. But I know deep down that keeping my heart chained to this grief isn't what you would have wanted. You'd want me to keep going and keep trying. So today I'm trying to do that. I'm letting you go, not because I want to, but because I have to. Because focusing on the hole you left is slowly destroying me, and I think you'd hate seeing that.
So this is my goodbye, my friend.
Rest well, sweetie. Rest easy.
I'll carry you in my heart always, and someday, when my time comes, we'll catch up up there.
I promise I'll find you, and we'll laugh about everything.
I love you forever.
Sleep tight.
Emi
