I missed having the constant company of the people I cared about, but I should have known that life isn't a fairytale.

I watched the water flow around the small pond and closed my eyes. I felt someone grasp my shoulder. I opened my eyes and turned to look to see no one there. I sighed once more. I wanted to feel like I mattered again. I wanted to feel useful and wanted. Maybe one day those things will come but for now, I will wait for the seasons to pass me by...
