Review for Only Absence

Only Absence

(#) -Dead 2012-06-19

Reading everyone else's reviews saying that they cried makes me feel kind of heartless that I didn't, though you said please not to cry so maybe that's not a bad thing. I very nearly did though. You're simply amazing. There is no other way to describe it. Oh and this: Everyone always pities the deceased, the one whose brilliance has been deprived of the world’s caring nurturing, but it’s the ones left behind that I feel truly sorry for. is exactly how I feel about death. Don't pity the dead. Pity the living who are left to pick up the pieces. Man, that's depressing. I apologise.

For whatever reason though, until the very end I thought it was Gerard who had died. I'm not sure why, I just did. Anyway, this was simply fantastic and incredibly moving.

It is definitely NOT a bad thing that you didn't cry; I hate tears!

Thank you very, very much! I'm glad you agree with my thoughts about pitying the living left behind. I personally lost someone very close and know how bad it does hurt and how long for. Don't apologise; sometimes depressing is good.

Thanks for such a great review! :D
