and slowly, time passed.
i thought my memories of her would fade over time.
but oddly, they became more clear.
her voice calling out my name.
the way her eyes crinkled when she laughed.
and the way her eyebrows shot up when she cried.
each time i thought back to those moments, i missed her like crazy.
and wondered what would be at the end of this long wait. 
time crawled by and the more that time slowly passed, 
i realized, i can't live without her.
