Words from the video

There are days that split your life
Into before and after
One moment still feels ordinary
Then the whole world answers

I was too young to understand
How quickly someone goes
How silence fills the space
Where a voice used to be close

No one taught me how to grieve
So I carried it alone
Stayed busy, stayed strong
Made a shelter out of stone

Losing you too young
Changed the way I love
I stopped believing time
Would always be enough

Now I hold people closer
Than I know how to explain
Because tomorrow is not promised
And love should not wait

I learned that grief is quiet
When it first learns your name
It follows you in pieces
And nothing feels the same

I became a little guarded
But I never became cold
I still believe connection
Is worth the risk we hold

Some hearts break open
And still keep room for light
Some goodbyes stay with us
But they teach us how to try

If love can hurt this deeply
Then love must matter too
I would rather feel the ache
Than feel nothing for you

Losing you too young
Changed the way I love
I stopped treating ordinary days
Like they were not enough

Now I hold people closer
And I say what I can say
Because tomorrow is not promised
And love should not wait

You are still part of the story
In ways time cannot erase
Some people leave too early
But never leave their place

About the Project

Created by Donald Faulknor

Our Unfinished Story is a Life Library of faith, fatherhood, heartbreak, healing, becoming, and rebuilding. These videos are created as doorways into the larger story — reflections, songs, and visual pieces connected to the chapters still being written.

The website holds the deeper Life Library. Social platforms and videos create doorways, but the full story continues through the chapters, reader paths, and long-form reflections on the site.
