losing a part of yourself

have you ever met the most perfect person in your life and the very idea of losing them makes you feel like you are losing a part of yourself? you know you will never recover from that wound. it will scab over but it will never fully heal. so you fight with every scrap, with every breath you have to keep that person in your life. you do everything you possibly can. everything. or there will be a gaping hole in your heart - that no matter what you do or where you go or how much time has gone by, it will never be filled again. so you fight. fight with everything you can. keep that person in your life.
