When people ask me about my tattoo (what happens really often.) I don't say his name or what he did and who he was.
I rather try to explain the feelings I have for him and who he was for me.
No one who hasn't experienced a one sided love like this understands it actually.
They just laugh.
As in so you have a tattoo for a singer of a band who died.
But that's not it.
I have a tattoo for a person that I love. And never want to forget.
That's why exactly that is what I tell people.

Yet I feel guilty for not saying how it really is because some pushy people keep asking me about our relationship. The needed explanation goes above them though so I rather laugh it away.
