What they’re saying

“I miss him a lot, and I love him. He know I love him. That's what we always know. So when you see me, and you see me smiling or something like that, you don't gotta never think I forgot about him, or I'll forget about him. I think about him all the time. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep, and that's it. I just know he's here. If I can't feel him, I just know he's around.”
