lonely
not for people in general, but for the one special person that turned my world upside down (in the best way) when we met. But then it was turned upside down, in the worst way when she died. There is a vacancy that no one else can fill, nothing can compensate for.
This time of year was special for us. I miss sharing it with her, and the spark of life and sense of purpose I had. Now I feel lifeless. much of the time, without purpose. Taking one day as it comes, kind of in survival mode. I've been here before, often, and I know tomorrow or the next day will be better, but the now is really unpleasant
On my good days, I can savor the memories, as bittersweet as they are. Today isn't one of those
peace
