You lived in a different world but sat right next to me. Every day I would watch as you fell asleep next to the window as the sun gleamed. Coloring you with gold and orange. We never talked. Yet you always seemed to speak to me. You were always so blended into the crowd yet you stood out to so far . You caught my eye. Never once spoke. Not in class, not to your friends. Well at least not in front of me.
Why did you have to live in another world? Why couldn't you have been with me? A believer, soon to become and angel, to live a long life. Why did you have to be a nonbeliever? Destined to a grim reaper, to die, to not be remembered. I just wanted to stay with you, but you didn't even know me.
How could I meet you there? I just wanted to get some fresh air but there you were. Standing at the edge of the roof. Your beautiful silky black hair flowed in the wind. You wore a white dress. The same dress I had always seen you in. Perfectly ironed, so perfectly fit for you. You heard me didn't you? Yet you chose to not look. You were ready to follow your grim reaper. Emily. Why?
Why did I save you? Why did I leap with all my strength to catch you? To hold you. Why did I instead fall for you? As I fell why did you disappear, I hadn't been falling long, yet you weren't there. Your hair painted with the night sky. Your porcelain pale skin. Your alluring green eyes. Gone. You had vanished. At that moment, I knew. I finally understood who you were. Emily.
You weren't only my first love, you were my grim reaper.
