 The thing about losing someone isn’t the loss but the absence of afterward.

 I used to think there was such a thing as emptiness, that there were places in the world one could go and be alone. This, I think, is still true, but the error in my reasoning was to assume that alone was somewhere you could go, rather than somewhere you had to be left.

 I want to explain her in a way that would make you love her, but the problem with this is that loving is something we all do alone and through different sets of eyes.
