Wren Willow:
I needed him you see. I needed him like I need the air I breathe. And he was there for me. Every time I had a bad nightmare I could call upon him to answer. I knew that he would sneak out of his second floor bedroom and push his fancy motorcycle a block before starting it up and riding to me at two A.M. I knew that he'd climb up the large tree beside my window. I knew I could expect that tap tap tap of his slim fingers on my windowpane. And I knew I could pull him into me and cry till I had no more tears. Then I knew he'd lay my bed with me until dawn came and he had to sneak out again before my parents caught him (however I suspected they knew).
That was one of the many ways I needed him.
For years he was there for me. Our first day of high school, my first familial death, my first failed test, my first parental argument. He was my first boyfriend and a lot of other firsts.
High school passed without a hitch.
But then graduation came and went.
And so did he.
You see, ever since we were kids, he dreamt of joining the army. Going off to fight for our country. However, I had hoped that once we finally started dating in high-school (cliché I know) , that he'd push all that aside, but he didn't. So two days after graduation I stood on the Tarmac waiting for his departure ticket to be called. "I promise I'll come back to you," he had whispered. "You promise?" I was doing all I could to not cry "I swear it Wren. You're the love of my life. I can't risk dying and someone else taking that beautiful face for themselves." A few tears slipped out but I laughed too "that is so cheesy Levi!" He kissed my cheek "what can I say baby. I'm pretty cheesy" shortly after that his ticket had been called and I had to practically tear myself away from him "I love you Wren Willow." He said firmly. His green eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "I love you too Levi Xander. For the rest of our lives" he has pulled me close before whispering our line back "for the rest of our lives" and giving me a deep passionate kiss.
It's been three years since he left. And a lot has changed.
But I still love him. I'll always love him
