- this is what I go through -

I wonder if it's just easier sometimes to think that you
didn't die, that you were just ignoring me. Would it be
easier then? Would I think that maybe you're somewhere
missing me, feeling that hole in your heart where a

instead. It was almost like I had a brother there, who was
always willing to listen to me, who was always wanting to
put up with me. My question to you is this: were you always
