"Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving you will come to a better place.”

I’m Dressed in black, sitting in a room that is quiet and heavy, surrounded by close friends and family. Memories come but quickly fade, too painful for today. You promised you would stay, you promised you were ok. How can life ever be the same? You promised me you would be ok.
