Quote by L.L. McKinney

“And, yes, ten years was a long time, and time was capale of many miracles when it came to healing, but there was never any forgetting. People said time helped things get easier. Well, that was a lie. You just grew more and more numb to the hurt until, for whatever reason, the sting would come alive anew. Pain was patient.”

No matter how much they hurt.”
