Saudade

When you lose someone close, you never recover. Instead you learn to incorporate their absence and memory into your life. And channel your emotional energy towards others, and eventually your grief will walk beside you. Instead of consuming you.
Its amazing the things you realize when you lose someone. You get mad at yourself for the things you didn't do. The things you didn't say. The amount of time you spent with them are too less to suffice for the time without them. Anyone can be taken, at anytime of our lives, but we always wait until they are gone to say the things we never had courage before.
Its like losing a limb, you are always aware of what you have lost, and what you had. You don't know the feeling as long as you haven't lost someone close to you, you cant even feel a silver of how much sorrow you get hit with.
You don't really remember how it felt to be with them as days pass. But you always remember how good you felt.
If only we remembered everyday, that we could lose someone at any moment, we would love them more fiercely and freely. Without fear, not because there is nothing to lose, but because everything, can always, be lost.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory, no one can steal.
