Excerpts From Stories I'll Never Write

FALL

We fell in love in the summer, when the sun shone bright and I kissed your lips and you felt the warmth of my love. When the cool summer nights brought out the stars shining both in the sky and my eyes. But just like the seasons changed so did we. You see we both fell like the leaves of fall only I feel deeper in love with you; while you fell far out of love. Now all I'm left with is the empty trees, because like the leaves that scatter the ground memories of our love have fallen; cracked and discolored. Getting over you was a horrific and traumatizing experience, that I would never wish upon anyone, even you. Countless nights spent crying over someone who didn't give me a second thought or explanation for the pain they inflicted on me was incomprehensible to come to terms with. My ability to persevere through the flashbacks grew harder with each passing day as I craved you more; until one day I began to heal out of spite. Now I don't need you, when you enter my mind I only think of the lessons you taught me and I wish you the best.
