One Year

in 4 days it marks a year since you left. 
i can’t lie to myself anymore because i know you are existing somewhere out there without me. 
i can’t lie to myself that i don’t miss you or that the ache is getting worse. 
the unbearable nature of remembering is closing in on me and taking the oxygen out of the room. i got very close to having everything i ever wanted. 
so close but so far.
