I cant believe its been 4 weeks since I had that p I cant believe its been 4 weeks since I had that phone call from your sister and my world fell apart.
It brought me to my knees and I laid on the kitchen floor screaming for hours afterwards.

Only 12 days after my mum passing, days after you assuring me you'd be back for her funeral to be by my side. 

There was no goodbye,  no preparation.

I don't remember our last conversation or when I last said I love you and it haunts me

This pain is unbearable. Im grieving you, us, who i was before this happened and our future.

The pain of not having you here to grow old with, to talk to, to hold. I miss your voice, your smell, your walk.

You could calm me and understood me like nobody ever has.

I wish we had more time but im grateful we had 7 and a half years. 

I hope you wait for me, as you are my person my soulmate, my everything.

Stoob and Cloob forever
