Description
I have to say goodbye to you.And I don't want to.
I don't want to.
I can't. I won't. ..please don't..
...don't go.
Did you hear that?
The chilling sound of broken vase pieces scatter.
No,
You swept those up for me.
This time,
It's the collapsing of my heart you heard shatter.
Please don't do this.
Please don't. Tell me it isn't true.
Wake me from this nightmare so vivid; brand new.
Don't you know what you mean to me?
This permanent goodbye I just can't take.
No teardrops fall,
So it's my body that will shake.
Tremble. Tremor.
Cry harder than tears.
Coughing, gasping,
Consumed in these fears.
of this final goodbye,
How can I look into your eyes..?
...and say it.
Say it.
You're going to make me say it.
I have to say.... goodbye.
....the only safe person I knew.
You put me together.
I promise now not to fall apart.
I won't erase the work you've done.
You haven't changed a life, transformed a life, or impacted one.
....you're the only soul I can truly say has saved a life.
Mine.
Death is the road to awe. This death is will bring beauty.
I won't let this be the end.
I will make you proud.

darling, you did a wonderful job on it.
if you wouldn't mind (i know that you made it so that if others click on the photo it will take them to my page) but, if where you typed "not taken my me, just edited" you could add
"copyright of Kristie McKonly" and the link to my original deviation, i would really really appreciate that just because it's outside of dA. normally i don't care where my work is used, but just recently i've had a big flock of theft (that others were profiting off of) because someone had found one of the photos from this set used on another website and then used it for their own wishes.
you did a wonderful job, i would just like it to be known to anyone else that might see it, that the photo IS copyrighted to me and just because you were allowed to use it doesn't mean that anyone can just snab it without telling me, ya know??
i hope you can understand and it's not asking too much.
thanks love.

That's my every morning. Very nice shot. If you ever need a story to shoot (cause I would love it if you took requests), I could always lend a hand! *nervous*
and i'm sorry for what happened to inspire this shot. i've been losing a lot of people this year and i can relate if you'd like to talk to a complete stranger

aw, i really really appreciate that. you are very sweet and i'm very sorry you have to relate to this at all.
i would be up for taking requests, but i'm actually in another state for a little while and dont even have my camera anymore

a year ago, I lost someone very precious to me too and all I can say is that you have every right to feel so sad, but don't let the pain overcome the biggest legacy of the person you've lost - don't let it influence your wellbeing :*
and the photo itself is simply gorgeous - a perfect picture of true, intimate goodbye and one's sorrow.
i hope it will get better.

i'd never want to do THAT -- but that would at least mean that i'd gotten the emotion across.

"Rest assured that in her dying, in her flight through
darkness toward a new light, she held you in her arms
and carried your closeness with her. And when she
arrived at God, your image was imprinted on her
joy-filled soul."
Beautifully emotive photo
