My feelings for you wouldn't melt.
I distinctly remember the day you left. I had to do it myself. I had to erase you. I had to remove you.
Things went downhill from there.
You were my spring. Flowers blossomed when you stepped on the ground and the birds sang just to please you.
I thought you were perfect. I thought nothing could go wrong.
One day made all the difference. I had to obey the rules. You had to be introduced.
It's amazing now, to think about how long you have been gone.
At the same time, it's amazing to think about how quickly and painfully my life has gone since you left.
Is there any hope for me? Or did it all leave with you?
When the flowers begin to fade, what happens?
What's left?
You smiled so eagerly. You spoke so kindly. You giggled when amused. We had fun together. I loved you.
I'm starting to understand why it's in past tense now. I don't know when I started to breathe in the summer air but it's been in my lungs for some time.
All I know is that you aren't the one making my heart beat faster anymore. She's more vivid than you were. She's tougher than you were. She smiles like she only has one left and speaks with a tone of total confidence. When she laughs, everyone has to laugh with her because she's so contagious.
I may love her.
I won't let her disappear like you did.
