kept me up till 3 am.
never wanted to say goodbye.
thought of him all day and night.
saw him through all the dreams i dreamt.
nobody was better in my eyes.
my future, my hope, and my life.
the air i breathed, and how i survived.

started with tears in my eyes.
the swirling storms that started, hidden inside.
questions keeping me up at night.
tears streaming down my pillow and red, puffy eyes.
looking at him was painful.
not looking at him was so hard; unbearable.
those eyes i used to love
aren't the ones i love anymore.
