Catching Feelings.

Epilogue.

She is everywhere I go
Everyone I see
Winter's gone and I still can't sleep
Summer's on the way
At least that's what they say
But these clouds won't leave

Walk away
Barely breathing
As I'm lying on the floor
Take my heart
As you're leaving
I don't need it anymore

This is the memory
This is the curse of having
Too much time to think about it
It's killing me
This is the last time
This is my forgiveness
This is endless

Now spring has brought the rain
But I still see your face
And I can not escape the past
Creeping up inside
Reminding me that I
Can never bring you back

This is the memory
This is the curse of having
Too much time to think about it
It's killing me
This is the last time
This is my forgiveness
This is endless
This is endless

Someone help me
'Cause the memory
Convinced itself to tear me apart
And it's gonna succeed before long

This is the memory
This is the curse of having
Too much time to think about it
It's killing me
This is the last time
This is my forgiveness
This is endless
This is endless

Someone help me
'Cause the memory
Convinced itself to tear me apart
And it's gonna succeed before long
(This is endless)

She is everywhere I go
Everyone I see
But these clouds won't leave

******************************************************************************

*4 years later*

I parked my car in the driveway of our house.

Our. I never get tired of saying this word. The house hadn't changed; still as the first time we stepped into it together. The night everything changed, and I claimed her mine.

5 years later, everything is still the exact same. The same wooden door, same old curtain on that small window, same driveway; nothing changed. Nothing would ever change.

I stepped out of my car, locking it and fetching my keys from my pocket. I opened the door and stepped in. I looked around. Silence and darkness. I sighed heavily.

"Lexie." I called out "Lexie!" I repeated with a higher voice.

Silence.

"Lexie, where are you?" I completed calling, "I know you hear me!"

Slight shuffling was heard from the living room, before dark blond pigtails came running towards me.

"Daddy!" My daughter's little voice cheerfully said.

"Lexie, why didn't you answer when I called your name?" I scolded lightly, lifting her little body into my arms.

"I am sorry. I was playing Hide and Seek with Jane." She beamed at me.

I looked at her light hazel eyes that were once blue. They were sparkling with all the joy in the world and all the intelligence a 4-year-old child could have. I hugged her close to my chest, inhaling her scent. My eyes automatically closed and I swallowed hard before I kissed her forehead and her tiny arms wrapped around my neck. I couldn't help the tear that escaped my eye.
