and live without it

— a dragonfly in amber/voyager mix [part 2 / 2]

"How do you do it? Finally say goodbye to that one person you loved most in all the world?" "Truth is, I've never been very good at saying goodbye. But that's the hell of it, isn't it? Whether you want to say goodbye or not, they're gone and you have to go on living without them. Because that's what they would want."
