What Gone Means
What gone means. The moment when you understand that their story is over; that their story is what you carry forward with you. That you carry a piece of their story like it was a piece of their heart, like the piece of your heart they took with them when they left. Like carrying a seed over hard, stony ground, a seed that you will never see planted, never see grow, but you carry it regardless in the hopes that one day it will find good earth again.
