Little Women



The most dreadful part of life is being left by the one we love.

The lesson it will leave isn’t for us to starve.

-But to have the strength to stand.

We lived by the memories we had.

This isn’t fair if we let our souls be carried by the burden of our sorrow.

And the one we lived by will become the reason for our death tomorrow.
