~Suffering By Katrin

I suffer in silence.

I refuse to let them comfort me. I want to grieve by myself.

I never thought a random tragedy - a drunk driver - would be able to take him.

He is - was - too strong for that.

I figured he would live to a ripe old age and die in his sleep.

Or die in a blaze of glory, saving the world from an enemy most people didn't know we had.

How could this have taken him?

How can the future I've dreamed of be gone?

I thought, maybe I could love him - now I will never know.

The End
