Five years.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of your death.

I try to make sense of the passing of time and the way in which everything has unfolded without you.

But I do not understand why you aren't here today - even five years later.

So much of who I am remains tied up in your memory.

Like a ship wreck lying dormant at the bottom of the sea, I still hold all of your secrets.

They are buried deep inside of me and no matter how many years pass by, I will carry them forever.

I will carry you forever.

You were and you will always be, my one true love.
