“I knew I would love you the moment I saw you, and I would have loved you forever had you stayed. But you left me with nothing but memories, and now I love those instead. I wake up every day and carry the weight of you, not as you are, but as you were in my mind—perfect, untouchable, a ghost of what could have been. I am lonely not because you’re gone, but because a part of me still lives in that past, and I can’t bring myself to leave it.”
— Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights…
