A Guide to Loss, from a Grown-Up's Point of View
heartbreak
is him watching you cry
him squeezing your hands
before he tells you goodbye
heartbreak
is trying to put the pieces back together
realizing that your best friend is gone
that there is, in fact, an "end" in "friend"
heartbreak
is crying every day for months
screaming into the dark of night
smoking to ease the pain
heartbreak
is moving on
knowing that he was the one
knowing that he is the one
heartbreak is acceptance
that the end
has happened
heartbreak
is
common
heartbreak
is
becoming
an adult
and so it shapes me
