It's like when you're just 18. The love of your life sits next to you. With you. And you think it's forever.
She tells you stories and listens to yours. You can never tell her the depth of your love for her and what she is doing to your life just by her presence. Just because you can't find the words or actions to express such deep felt emotion.

You secretly imagine a few years forward in your life and see how life will be ever more wonderful with each passing year. And you KNOW that it's impossible for your simple mind to imagine how amazing, great and magical it will become beyond those few years. But you know that the love of your life does know. It's just that she can't tell you because you wouldn't understand it now anyways.

So you live happily in the knowledge that you two will be together forever. And that you will support her in everything she does because she knows what is best for you even before you know it yourself. She accomplishes things for you and builds and does things for you that you haven't even imagined until they were presented to you. And after the presentation you keep asking yourself how you could have lived without it for so many years.

Your expectations grow every day. You're no longer a mere lover. You're a follower of her ways, her dreams, her creations. You are captured by this beautiful being that is larger than life itself. It is humbling to exist in her presence. You know you're going to be amazed every day for the rest of your life. That is your destiny!

Then comes a day that you wake up and she's dead!!
All the wonderful, amazing and magical stuff you knew were coming will never come.
There will never be a replacement.
You will never be amazed again.
Nothing will ever be as magical.
This was your only chance and it got away.

This wasn't your fault. It was nobody's fault.
You couldn't do anything about it. Nobody could.
It just happened. Or as they say: "It's life!"

Imagine how you would feel if that would happen to you.
Well this happened to all of us. Last week. When Steve Jobs passed away.

We as a society woke up to see our loved one die too soon.
He will never amaze us again.
That is what we will miss most!
