I'm someone who's really all about simple things. I feel like doing something short too (anything under 1000 words is short to me.) This is in May's POV. Warning: pretty depressing. I literally wrote this in six minutes, I apologize for any errors or if it's kinda baddd.

Memories- Under 6 Minutes

You made me stutter for the first time. Your fingertips brushed across my skin. You spoke, the words dancing on a melodic voice. Your name made my heart leap. Even when you ran a hand through your spiky hair, it was mesmerizing. I kept hearing your footsteps echo across the walls of the cave, long after you left.

The next time I saw you, why did you make my head spin? I didn't believe in love at first sight. I didn't believe in things that couldn't be true. Why were millions of butterflies fluttering within the walls of stomach? Why did your smile make my legs wobble so much that I fell? But I didn't fall. Your strong arms wrapped around my waist, you cradled me to you. You never let me fall. Not once.

We grew together, even after I beat you. I never told you I liked you. You never told me you wanted me. We never told each other "I love you". Most of the time, I held your hand tightly, scared you'd disappear. You embraced me, your face in my hair. I inhaled your scent while you held me, the faint trace of cologne mixed with you. You grabbed my face and pressed your lips to mine. You didn't let me forget. You didn't let the feelings leave my chest.

I was nineteen, you twenty-eight. I was naive, inexperienced, wrong.

I didn't know that you wore a mask. Secretly, you were lost in a vortex of your own fears, ones that would haunt you even in daylight. They were shadows that clung to you, never straying far enough to give you the chance to escape them. Your mother died when you were born, your father neglected you, you grew up shrouded by fame, only living by the pressure and expectations pushed upon you for your entire life. You were broken glass, you couldn't be fully mended because there were missing parts and some pieces wouldn't fit together anymore.

But I think your demons disappeared after we became something. I was somehow your temporary relief, a drug that you got addicted to. You were always restless, like the sun, never failing to set and to draw close. Like all restless things, you needed to be free, not belonging to anyone. I wasn't an exception.

I woke up one day and you were gone, your side of the bed cold. I called you, searched for any clue you might have left behind for me. I waited. I never cried. Days, weeks, months, and finally I stopped. You were gone. When I cried, the tears were worth it. You were worth it. Salty, sad, sweet.

Did you ever love me? Is there still a trace of me, somewhere deep within your heart? Was I your first decision or did you simply pick me because there was no one else? I wish you didn't leave me with unanswered questions. But the question I want answered the most is: Were you ever happy at least once in the time we spent together? Steven, you are a midsummer's breeze, wishes on birthday candles, the dreams created in slumber. Things that briefly come, but never truly stay for long.

I don't want to say goodbye to you. They say goodbye means forgetting- but I don't want to forget. I want to wander through our memories, the timed that made me laugh, cry, both at the same time. I will wander, but I won't be lost. We won't be lost. And one day, I'll be able to whisper your name into the air, let it be carried by the wind, sent into the skies, directed to you.

The only thing that will connect us is being under the same sky, same stars. Sometimes, love changes us. Sometimes, love only becomes memories.

Good memories don't always erase the bad ones.

Okay so I know this was SUPER dramatic and depressing, but I felt like writing something depressing because it leaves me with a better feeling for something happy- meaning i will post very fluffy and sweet chapters soon! I'm not too happy with this chapter, but I needed to post something. ( Not writing for a while makes me feel weird). Sadly, school is coming very very very soon, so the pace of updating will be slower. Due to this, i will try and post things before mid August.

Thank you all so much for the continued support and everything! I cannot be happier with the reviews and don't forget to tell me what you think! Please continue to read, rate, and review! Hugs to you all~
