black and white wednesday: lydia.



You can love someone as much as the last time you saw them.

You can miss them the second that they are gone.

You can miss them as much in that moment as you ever will.

You can live your life without them.

You can watch their life unfold, unravel, release and move on.

You can experience the things that they never will.

But you can not forget your loss.

It is just as large as the breathing soul that once faced you.

Just as deep as the love within.

The greater your love, the greater your loss.





p.s. black and white wednesday is a feature of The Long Road to China.
