Day 117: Excerpt from a book I'll never write

"Actually, there's one last thing before you go. If you're going to leave, I want you to know my heart will be broken. I'll feel pain like a thousand knives and I'll cry a thousand tears and I'll write a thousand love poems about you. This isn't to make you feel guilty or to make you stay. I'm telling you this so you know that even after you're gone, you're making me stronger.
Like it or not, you've changed me.
So I thank you."
