I can't accept that I'll never see you again

It's like a dream that I'm hoping I'll wake up from

The denial numbs me to the core

I'm frozen inside and with one strike I will shatter

Your words are etched upon my mind

You saw potential within me

This winter will be everlasting

I am already shivering

I'm not convinced that this is even real

I don't know what I'm supposed to feel

The sun's rays do not warm my skin

I can't remove the bitterness within my heart

I'm so afraid

Life is so fragile

The whole world can end in an instant

You may never return

But it feels like you never left
