“One day when I'm long gone, I really hope you remember me. I hope you realize the signs were there from the very start. I hope you wonder why you didn't help when you could. I hope you realize that it wasn't for attention at all. I hope you realize it's becuase I was hurting. I hope you realize it was my only choice. People only listen once you're gone.”
