 I am really sad right now, this was a masterpiece. This cut will always bleed, I'll never be whole again. But then, that's how I like it, isn't it?
I'll miss them, and I'll miss how much they've all grown; I'll miss what could have been, had things been different; but I've enjoyed the ride and they'll always hold a special place in my heart.
