Rain again today. The grandfather clock chimed three times.

All was quiet save for the raindrops falling upon the cottage roof.

It's fully sunken in. I am finally able to step back and see everything. You're gone... never to return. I'll never see your adorable self or hear you anymore. I am truly alone now. I've lost the only, only one that I can trust and tell everything to. There is no one left I can turn to... no one that's always happy to see me. You've been there for me all throughout my life. When they argued and fought, you were there by my side.  You were the only one that I wasn't afraid to cry to. You were my light in this dark twisted world. Now, I am blind. This darkness is eating me up once more. Every day of existence is torture... I plaster on a happy facade, fooling the rest of the world. But what for? So as not too appear weak?

Alas, I wonder... if I could just have a single day of happiness... where I could forget everything. The past... my worries... everything.... I would give up everything for that day.
