I wonder what's worse, to lose someone over a period of ten years, or to lose them in a heartbeat. I wonder if given the chance, we'd say everything on our minds and in our hearts, cram a lifetime of words into a farewell speech, or hold it all back, for whatever reason. I am ten years too late, eight months too late, two weeks too late. I used to think goodbyes were hard to do. I now wonder if the unsaid goodbyes are the ones that are hardest to swallow.

"If you love someone, just say it. Just say it right then, out loud. Otherwise the moment just... passes you by."
