Terrible things happen to people.
Yet, we go on living each day, continuing with our
repetitive routines.
Some people live on by ignoring that they’re unhappy.
Some fool themselves that it’s going to be okay.
And strangely,
very little of us do anything to change this.
I was one of them, until he forced himself into my life
and made me realize the void inside me.
At times of darkness, when even my own shadow
left me, he would be by my side.
He was like a pillar that held up all of my happiness.
And then he was gone;
just like the snowflakes that landed on my palm on this cold night.
“The terrible thing that happened to me was you, Hiro.”
