"Remember the way you made me feel
Such young love but
Something in me knew that it was real
Frozen in my head
Pictures I'm living through for now
Trying to remember all the good times
Our life was cutting through so loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind
I hate this part paper hearts
And I'll hold a piece of yours
Don't think I would just forget about it
Hoping that you won't forget about it."
PROLOGUE.
Paper Hearts.
The rain pours down so hard, that I can't even see the road ahead. I'm drenched in this rain, but for all I care. I'm done. So done with this stupid life that I was given.
The shops around me are all closed, well some are still closing - moving their tables and chairs inside to keep it from the rain, pulling the menu stand inside - even the shops are closing in my presence. Like how her heart closed for mine.
Looking down, I see the bouquet of roses I bought just for her - I still remember how I bought it earlier, the overflowing excitement I have as I paid for it - my chest thumping so hard as I drove my car on the way to her university, how I almost neglected the rules of driving because I was driving so fast out of excitement - only to find out an entirely different level of surprise.
Well there she was, the love of my life, walking out to the gates of the school with another guy with their hands both intertwined and with their attention to each other - scratch that, they're looking at each other eye to eye and sure, even another bouquet of red roses onto her hand.
The sight of it stabbed me hard that it went through the back.
Unable to control my overflowing anger, of course I got out of the car to retrieve my, my girlfriend out of someone else's grasp.
Then there comes the oh-so typical scene:
"O-ouch! Z-Zach? Wh-what are you doing here? M-my hand!"
"Dude, she's hurt from your grasp--"
And of course, usual tug-of-war.
"What're you doing with him, Celine?"
"Uh-I-I-"
"You're hurting her!"
And timeskip, I'm skipping all the lies she uttered to cover up the mess until she finally admitted the truth.
"We've been together, for almost 2 years now."
"T-two years?"
"Almost." She corrected, staring straight into my eyes.
"Wh-why?" I asked, confused, lost, and all negative emotions that I have right now.
"I-- I," she stammered.
"Why?" I pressed aggressively further, but sounded more of a whisper.
"I fell out of love."
And that folks, was how simple five words ruined my whole being.
Even the last words I heard while driving away shattered me even more.
"I--I don't love you anymore, Zach, I'm-I'm sorry,"
I refused to look back, but the sight of her in another man's arms in the rear view mirror was enough for me to let out a few tears.
"I live through pictures as if I was right there by your side
But you'll be good without me and if I could just give it some time
I'll be alright
Goodbye love you flew right by love."
