For a while I never knew what it felt like to feel.

  I saw children running around at the park with their friends, looking at their endless smiles and listening to their heartwarming giggles.

  I saw families having hearty dinners at their favorite pce to eat, kids making jokes and eating with their mouths open to respond to their mom or dad.

  I saw boys building up the courage to ask their crush out on a date to the movies.

  I saw the group of girls comforting their friend over her breakup with a boy she thought was the one.

  I saw old veterans with mencholy expressions on their faces still leaving their houses to meet up with their grandchildren at a pce they held deeply within their hearts.

  I saw it all and yet I couldn’t understand any of it. I couldn’t understand how they could think that feeling those things was such a simple act.

  I saw everything and yet, I could never have it. Not with what I was “gifted”.
