I have felt numb for days, weeks. I don't even know what day it is anymore or what the time is. Everything seems to pass so slowly, then quickly, then slowly again. I'm losing my mind and I don't know how to cope.

He's gone. He's gone.

And now what am I supposed to do without him?

He was my best friend. My brother. The only person in this world that I trusted my life with.

I want to fight but I can't. I don't know how when I end up mourning him instead. Nothing is going to bring him back, I will never speak to him again, hug him again. He will never be in my life again and I cannot accept it.

Everything hurts all the time. Heartache is painful when you lose someone close to you.

My life will change forever. It already has changed.

I don't want to be here anymore. Not without him. I can't be here without him.

Deep down I know he'd want me to get up and move on but I can't. No matter how hard I try, no matter how much I force myself to believe in what he would want for me, I end up back in that dark place all over again.

When I don't know what to do, I find myself visiting the town he used to live. Somehow I think it will bring me closer to him but it only hurts more because he's not here, he's not thriving in the town where he brought so much happiness to so many people.

What's the point, what's the point, what's the point?

Today is one of those days. I'm down, I'm distraught, I'm done with feeling like this.

My eyes have dried up. I haven't cried for almost a week. There are probably no tears left for me to cry. My body has gone into shut down mode.

The weight in my chest is excruciating. It has to be done today. It has to be over.

But what would Liam want?

What would Liam want... he'd want me to stay and fight. He'd want me to live my life for him. To do the things he couldn't. To be happy. To find my light again.

If this were true, the universe would give me a sign.

It would tell me that he's looking down on me. That he's looking after me.

But everything in this world feels bland. Nothing is special without him. How am I to know what is a sign and what isn't? Fuck. I'm so confused. I'm so numb. I am empty.

I forget that I'm walking through town, barely glancing at the people I pass by. Right now they're irrelevant, everything feels irrelevant.

Liam worked in this town, he brought it to life and yet I cannot feel the essence of him. I wish I came to visit him more, I wish I got to know what exactly he did to transform this town. I wish for a lot of things. I wish for more time with him.
