The Rise and Fall

A smile turned into a kiss.

A kiss so bittersweet it takes your mind to the day you fell in love with, sour patch kids?

My favorite temptation!

Yes

You, you are my temptation. All of my deepest desires wrapped up into one human-

Gentle like the sea when the wind breaks and the crashing of the waves seize, like the melody of your favorite song.

A song so full it makes your heart cry with joy. One that you relate to emotionally- Emotions, constantly filling my head, My body, My soul. My entire being consumed with passion and fire.

I want you. I need you.

I, I love you.

I love you... The words poured out of my mouth like a roaring waterfall does down a Rocky Mountain side- Fast and clear as day.

Me, vulnerable like a child still learning right from wrong.

Was I wrong? Was It wrong to open a new chapter in my book of life and let you help fill in the blanks?

No.

Blank is what my heart sees when I tell myself that I'm okay when I know deep down that I am in fact not.

I am lost.

Lost in thought. Now that you're gone my mind keeps playing scenarios over and over as if I can go back and redo certain seconds, minutes, days, even years.

Pathetic? Maybe. Maybe not.

Buried deep beneath the hurt and pain I forgive you. I forgive you for what you did and didn't know you had done. I forgive you for trying to love someone who couldn't love them self first.

I'm sorry for the same.

Your Smile.

That smile, I still See it. I still see you like the stars see the night. And that kiss, I feel it like you do the breeze on the surface of your skin when the sun is beaming down

Time. It's going. to take. time.

Love isn't easily forgotten, just easily missed. And as time travels on one day it’ll be the moments, the memories, the routine that Will be missed.

But in the back of my mind you will stay locked away. Forever a part of who I am today. I thank you for that. For teaching me. Loving me. And finally letting me grow-

Thank you for helping me find who I am.

Sincerely, me
