Los Angeles [US]: Liam Payne's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, shared her first post on social media following the singer's death on October 17.
Taking to her Instagram account on Wednesday, Kate dropped a series of pictures with Liam and shared how difficult it is for her to imagine life without him.
She also shared that the two were planning to get engaged or married within the next year. Her words reflect the deep bond they shared and the impact Liam had on her life.
"I don't even know where to begin. My heart is shattered in ways I can't put into words. I wish you could see the huge impact you've had on the world, even as it feels so dark right now. You brought so much happiness and positivity to everyone--millions of fans, your family, friends, and especially me. You are so incredibly loved," read her Instagram post.
She went on to say, "You are--because I can't say were--my best friend, the love of my life, and everyone you touched felt just as special as I did. Your energy was contagious, lighting up every room you walked into. None of this feels real, and I can't wrap my head around this new reality of not having you here. I'm struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side. Together, we got to be kids again, always finding joy in the smallest things."
