When the wind blows, and fires burn. As the ocean waves crash along the shores, and the sound of distant howls can be heard. While the earth keeps spinning, and humans keep existing. Once the stars stop shining and your smile fades.

All the memories we've had.

Why? I ask. Why choose me?

You are too perfect for my flaws.

All I've ever wanted was to be loved. But this right here, this thing you call affection is far beyond my understanding of love.

We dance like the sun dances with the moon. In constant motion, we're nearly always on the move.

You step back and I come forward, then I get scared and we repeat this all over.

I'm scared to feel broken, and I'm scared to feel love. I fear that I'll break, just as glass breaks when dropped from to high. We're falling, we're failing. The sound of glass echoes all throughout our bodies.

We sing like the thunder before a storm, constant yelling, constant crying.

We love like the winter loves the cold. I just want to feel the summer breeze.

I found, I cared. We laughed, we felt. I loved, I lost. We're broke, we're hurt. I moved on, while she got left behind. We tried, and she died.
