If you would have told me 5 years ago that I would regret waiting to call him until “after work tomorrow”, I wouldn’t have believed you.
If you would have told me 5 years ago that my world would change over the next 24 hours, I would have called you insane.
If you would have told me 5 years ago to stop being stubborn and just pick up the damn phone, I would have laughed at you.
If you would have told me 5 years ago how fast time really flies by, I would have ignored you.
I don’t know that the day will ever come when I “move on”. How do you move on from death? You don’t. You just find a new way of life. If there is one thing I’ve learned in the last 5 years, it’s that I don’t believe anyone truly understands the concept of time. The idea that what feels like forever, is really just a blink of an eye. Tell the people you love that you love them. Hug the people around you. Be vulnerable. Don’t hold back. If you want to cry, then freaking cry! Don’t be afraid to be who you truly are.
Live freely. Love unconditionally. Be happy.
I’d give anything to go back 5 years to this day and just pick up the damn phone. To have that one last conversation to tell you how much I love you.
“Until we meet again…”
