This is a memorial, though not for a person, but a story, a connection,
a part of a friendship that ended far too soon.
In August 2022 I got to experience the beautiful wonder that was making a collaborative story with a new friend. That story and its characters took my heart by storm and lived in my head day by day since.
We made art, we wrote stories, we collaborated, collected aesthetics, songs and quotes.
All for our main pairing whom we adored so much.
Their story grew so massive that I knew we could spend many more years developing and refining it.
I cannot ever put into words what this story and pairing meant to us.
But nothing ever lasts, and far too soon my friend had to move on due to the difficulties in their own life. For their own sake they abandoned all we had, and left me to take care of it solely.
It hurts every day. But I love our darlings too much to let go.
So here I am, the eternal guardian of a story in pieces. Of a song without its melody. Half the soul is gone, and that fact will keep haunting me for all the years that we were meant to spend together.
But I will keep loving them, I have to, for I am the last one remaining.
To my friend - It hurts, but I still thank you for all you've given me.
And to our darlings, our... now my... Moth and Spider, I love you so much.
I promise to keep taking care of you, as best as my sad heart can manage.
