Chapter 11 – Growth

A/n: Only two more for today...

Harper has brown eyes.

She's starting to hold her head up on her own.

I saw you today. You were standing behind a tree, as I sat in the sun.

In that place where they tell me you are.

There's grass over the dirt.

I left you Peonies. They are your favorites.

I know you aren't there.

But you are coming around less and less.

She smiled at me and it was your smile.

She's a night owl, just like you.

Three months have past since you last looked at me.

I still have the dreams of the buzzing and beeps.

I still wake up screaming.

Your smell no longer lingers in the air at home.

I've moved back into our room.

It's the only place that I can still feel you in the air.

My heart still beats in time with yours, I hope.

When I hold her, I can feel you, what's left of you inside her.

I still cry myself to sleep.

Everyday she grows.

Everyday you grow further away.
