It’s really hard to explain what it’s like to not get to say goodbye and tell her what I wanted to.  I get this urge at some point everyday to call her whether about things with the situation or just something happens during the day I want to talk to her about.  It’s like this weird feeling when a second later I realize I can’t call her.  It’s hard to explain but it kinda feels like I can’t breathe for a second.  And there are so many unresolved feelings and questions that can’t never be answered
