Him

we lay there in the corn field alone, staring up at the stars, slowing drifting away. the way he looks at me, with his bright, starlit eyes. his words so utterly silent. he uses my hair to tickle my neck. and neither of us want to leave.

he then says, "you know, we can run away. right now. nobody would know. we could survive. we could get away from here. we could be with each other."

he has said this many times to me. the only reason is because we have a forbidden love. I hate that. it's not a crime to love him. him. I love him. and I want to leave. with him.

"I cant", I softly whispered, "if my dad-"

and just as I said that, he grabbed my neck, and kissed me. with so much affection and love. I love him. him

the next day at school, I met him in the hallway next to my geometry class. I missed him. and he missed me. then once again he grabbed me neck, and kissed me. except for this time, it was different,  it was almost as if I was kissing air. I slowly opened my eyes, only to see that he wasn't there, yet I could still feel him touching my neck. something wasn't right. I quickly ran around the halls. asking every single person if they have seen him. only, I got the same response from ever single person, I've never heard of him. all at once, I fell to the ground. I felt my heart get ripped out of me. and then have it break into a million pieces. a bright light flashed in front of my eyes. I had only one last thought. he never existed. and neither did my life. I will never forget him. even though he wasn't real, in my imaginary eyes. he was to me. this was the day that I lost the only thing I really ever cared about. him.
