of dark skies and gloomy days
oo
The skies are gray are dark today; the sun is gone and the clouds look gloomy. She smiles and laughs and pretends she isn't hurting. She hides her tears, she hides her anguish, and she smiles at you. You know she waited for you. You know it's your fault. You know you walked away, and now she is but an empty shell of what she used to be. She wishes nothing but the best for you, but you see the pleading in her eyes.
It's that first love that you can never forget. As the years get warmer, the days grow longer, and you seem to just keep getting older, she stays in your mind. After you're married and little you-clones are running around wildly, you think of her and her words ring in your ears as if it were just yesterday and you begin to wonder if you made a mistake all those years ago.
Don't forget about me.
