Tomorrow's the day.
She's coming back. I don't want her to. Although I miss her, I just don't believe I will be able to handle it. They've been away for so long.
Everything has been the same over here. It's like a typical vacation. They leave, we stay. Their things remain untouched. We clean up the last they've used, keeping it clean for until they come back. But now only half the items will be used again.
He's gone, and even though I know, even though I can't do anything about it, I can't help but to hold on. I can't let go of the fact that he isn't walking about in his healthy form. He's not awake on the other side of the world. He's gone.
I will never see him again.
It's been hard. Ever since we recieved news that his condition was worsening, we were always on alert, scared for any phone calls - each time it rings, we were afraid it would be the one to tell us the devastating news.
I was sleeping when he passed. He was calling my name. And I wasn't there. February 8th, 2009.
I cried, of course. That's the normal average reaction. I got over it. I stopped crying. But it wasn't long until it would start again. Every mention of it, every vivid thought of his facial features, every sight of his trench coat, his hat, his bed, his regular spots -- the tears threaten to fall. Isn't time supposed to heal it? Because as of now, time certainly isn't doing its job.
But time also kept our memories here. Time froze. His belongings, everything... they're still there.. Soon enough, those will have to leave. And everytime I step into that room, it will be empty. There won't be any trace of him. The washroom will be void of all his toothbrushes, shavers, cups, lotions, medication. It will be void of him.
It won't be like he's in China anymore. Reality will hit me hard. It'll force me to face the fact that he's really gone. He's somewhere else now, being reincarnated, living in a seperate, better world, taking some time off.
But I can't... I still can't accept it. I miss him. I miss him so much. But I have to be strong. I can't show my weakness in front of her, in front of them. They need me to stay strong, because they themselves are staying strong for me.
I need to let it out. And the day before she's coming back, I don't want to bother Ahb. Ahb is finally getting his alone time with his friends, playing, having fun.
My stomach isn't really hurting. I'm typing this instead.
I don't want to bother anyone anymore... Everyone must be tired of my crap. I've complained so much, cried so much, whined so much. It's time to shut everything off and deal with it myself. Even I'm tired of my crap.
So tired.
Everybody is tired. We all need a break. The long weekend didn't help. Breaks don't help. Everything just gets pushed further back, pushed further towards the deadline.
Is procrastination so unavoidable for me? I can't escape it this time. The deadline is here.
1PM, tomorrow. Be ready, hold your breath. I won't cry this time. I promise.
I won't cry about it anymore.
