Remembering You

Nearly 10 years of knowing you is a lifetime of memories I'll carry with me. We came from two completely different worlds, yet somehow found a way to exist in each other's lives in a way that was uniquely ours.

You were complicated, misunderstood, and carrying more pain and loss than most people ever knew. I saw the parts of you that you didn't always show the world, and despite everything, I cared about you deeply.

There are some connections in life that are hard to explain to other people. Ours was one of them. It wasn't perfect, it wasn't always easy, but it was real, and I'll always be grateful that our paths crossed.

Our last conversation was July 20, and the last time we spoke through text, you told me you loved me. Your last word to me was "later." I never imagined that "later" would be the last word I'd ever hear from you.

I hope wherever you are now, you've finally found the peace you spent so long searching for. You will be missed, and a part of my life will always carry the memory of you.

Rest peacefully. Until we meet again. ❤️‍🩹
