Life goes on. Whether or not you choose to go with it, it doesn't change that fact that it will leave you behind. I never forgot him. I never forgot the way he looked as he took his last breaths. I never forgot the way he smiled when he saw me. I never forgot the way he made me feel. But forgetting is not the same as moving on. I will always remember him, he affected my life in such a way I could never forget, but I had to let him go. It was not healthy. I had to move on before life leaves me behind. And I, Valerie May Rivers, has unwillingly let him go, but my heart also went with him.
