That Look I Adored (Asylum #3/Unsent Letters #2)

I visited the place where I first called you beautiful today, Dove.
No disguised feelings. No torn hearts. I caressed your face, and let words I never thought I'd get to say slip through my lips.
Oh, and I remember the way you looked at me.
That look I love, from the eyes I adore.
Like I was the most important thing in the world.
You'll never look at me that way again, will you?
I wore the same shirt from that night, too.
I wonder if the shirt had missed that place.
I wonder if it misses you.
There was an empty chair next to me that could have sat you.
I wonder if it missed you like I did.
Like I do.
You, you, you.

You'll... never look at me that way again, will you.
