"I remember meeting him in high school with his 

dyed hair and 

band shirts. 

My mother told me that 

boys like him were 

'evil' and would mess me up. 

But, see, she never really opened up to people but 

I don't blame her because 

I can hardly talk to 

anyone since I lost 

him. 

Anyways, he wasn't 

michevious as everyone thought he was. 

Hell, he wouldn't even hurt a 

fly (maybe tease it lovingly but never intentionally hurt.) 

I remember the way it 

hurt when I fell in love with him. 

I remember the way my stomach would tighten and the 

beat in my chest became off. 

I remember talking to myself three months after it 

happened and feeling like he was 

talking back. 

Like he never left. 

Because I'd ask a question and the cold December wind would 

cause goosebumps on my pale skin and 

my stomach would tighten and 

my heart beat would become off and I felt 

him holding my waist and his 

head on my shoulder as he told me it was okay 

and that I had to find someone who loved me but what he 

didn't understand was no one could make me feel more alive

than his cold body."
