I lost my soul today. I blinked, and in an instant the world had captured it up from me. I feel it will replenish over time, but in the heat of the moment I'm left battered and torn, alone in the darkness of a rainy street corner. Cold and shivering, no one around, not a sound but the rain on the pavement. The hard part has just gotten harder. Never in my life have I been so strong, and never have I hated myself so much for it. Dissipated into nothingness ... left to wonder on my own now. No false goodbyes or momentary lapses. I feel more empty and sad than I can remember. There is no hatred stemming this time - which is my one saving grace... as always, tomorrow is another day. No matter what I feel, the sun will still rise and the day will go on .. and so shall I.
"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough. " -The Notebook
