What Happened to Always

Suicide.

It’s a taboo word, a taboo subject, a taboo everything.

No one wants to think about it happening.

But when it does happen, it’s all anyone can think about.

For a long time, it was all I could think about.

Because Colie Matthews was my girlfriend.

And Colie killed herself.

And she didn’t leave a note.

She never said goodbye.
