I watched from the window as the sun peaked window that morning from the hospital sill, I didn't wanna stay all night, but here I am at the mercy of someone who's so reckless and impulsive - who's holding my heart. It was so hard to look at him more than 5 minutes so I'd take him in increments, way smaller.

   "So stupid," I huffed turning back to my panel.

   Before I knew it though I was standing outside the hospital - hands on knees - abandoning my car that still sat beside my moms in the garage and I was making my way onto the road by foot. It's overwhelming to take so much in at once, to imagine so many horrible things within seconds and actually believing them. I did not want to visualize the end of things - make up in my mind what can actually happen.

In my memory, I could kill him. Just like that, he's gone.

  Kim spotted me on the street, "where are you going?"

  I picked up the speed. I did not stop.

  "Beatrice!"

She faded into the background. She knows . The path of the sunlight leads me to the tree where I've lost him. The car storms in from the right and tags the curb. Miles is a nice person who I will never actually know. I suppose love is much like that. When it comes to the end, we realize we actually knew nothing about that person.

Love, coming quick and fast and then disappearing into the sunlight.
