After you

Before you

You are my heartbeat, my lifeline, my soul, my other half.

My name is Aura Every this is my story on how I lost my soul. The person who meant the world to me. The only person I ever loved.

I met him for the first time on campus at the local coffee shop. I went there to study for finals, it wasn't very normal for me because I hated studying or anything got to do with school. The only thing I ever enjoyed was reading. That was what helped me get through everything. "I'll have one cappuccino please" his melodic accent drew my eyes up immediately. His lustrous brown hair cascaded down his shoulders, his blue eyes glistened with the sun, his smile radiated within the air. His mesmerising voice resonated within my mind unable to leave me alone.

My new roommate walked in. "Hey Aura" stumbling upon my words I spill coffee all over my notebook my eyes darting from one place to another. "Seems like you need a hand" my body freezes aimlessly as I look into his eyes, they were as serene as morning dew, intriguing and innocent, I saw my r- " Aurora is it?" "Oh, yea you can call me Aura" He smiles and looks into my golden brown eyes " Nice to meet you Aura"
He walks out the door as the bells chime. After a few seconds my eyes finally drew from the door to Lillian (my new roommate) "who is that-"
"Oh, that's Nate Hawthorne his dad is really rich"
"Oh, I need to go cya back at the room" I quickly gather up my stuff and run out the door" I get back to my room. I was skipping class but I didn't really care. I sat on my bed and started drawing. I was an artist, and a poet two things I loved doing including reading Ofcourse. I tie my blonde messy hair into a bun and put my special glasses on. "Hey Aura" "Oh hey Lily" "Whatcha sketching-" she leans over my page and I quickly hide it. "Nothing- I mean it's just a stupid sketch" I quickly shove the book into my bag I grab my phone and quickly head to my quiet spot.

I quietly walk while listening to music in my ears, the wind was like a serenading calmness in my heart. I sit down onto the board and I sketch with the flowing river at sunset. The lake reminds me of him. It's weird. I just met him but I'm already oddly attached to him. I continue sketching with the river I love the breeze. I love this spot, why? I always come here. Even before I started going to college. I always came here to seek peace. I let my hair down and sat at the edge of the boardwalk. I let myself bathe in sunlight shaking my head to the serenade of peace playing through my ears.

It's getting late, I should head back. I pack up my things and begin to make my way back to my dormitory. I hum along with the songs as i walk in the rain thinking of him. I smile to myself manifesting a life together. Come on Aura you're only a sophomore he's a senior stop being so lame.

Sometimes my head plays with my heart. I can never listen to my heart because of its lustful desires. I listen to my mind even though it sometimes can destroy me. One day I want to find someone who can let me listen to my heart.
