One Directionhave always been better at saying goodbye than I could ever be.
We had some good times, didnt we?
We had some good tricks up our sleeve, they sang on the pre-chorus.

Goodbyes are bittersweet, but its not the end Ill see your face again.
Were nearly at the nine-year mark now, but its probably time to stop counting.

After the news broke, I thought about the inevitability of having to write out that sentence.
Some of them have children and spouses now.
Im hyper-aware of how parasocial this all may read to someone who didnt experience it themselves.
It lives forever only in the sense that it lives within all of us.
Someone who struggled with substance abuse at the height of the fame that we gave him.
If it has, you dont need them.
Last night, I went searching through One Directions discography to see if they knew what to say.
Ill be by your side, anytime youre needing me.
