but it was getting harder
and
harder
to remember the good things.
the good was getting rarer
and the fireflies
were disappearing
and her heart was aching
because she tried to treasure
the good times
the good things
the good people
but they all

and
everyone else
seemed to forget about her
anyways
and it was hard
because
