Eight months, two weeks and two days.

It feels like I am counting down the days until I would just eventually close my eyes and drift off to an endless slumber. As sad as this may sound but, I wish that's the case.

Eight months, two weeks, two days and eighteen hours.

The steady ticking of the clock had been my lullaby all this time.

I am a wreck, I know that. But have you ever lost something that you knew from the very beginning that you've laid an eye on it that you wanted to keep it forever? Like, there's this certain something in it that just means so much to you although you couldn't quite begin to explain it to someone else. Well, I have. In my case, though, it isn't just anything. It's a someone.

Eight months, two weeks, two days, eighteen hours and forty minutes.

You couldn't blame me though. I had no choice. I did what I had to do.

But was it worth it?

Would I ever feel satisfied with what I've done?

I don't think so.
