Nothing seems to last forever. But just because almost nothing does, does that mean there isn't such a thing? What if forever does exist, but the only reason we refuse to believe in it is because barely anything lasts that long?
They say love never dies. When someone we love leaves us, may it be for a few seconds or for a few years, does that love leave us as well? Or does it stay with us as a constant reminder that someone out there still cares?
Mark is about to find out.
His world turns upside down when he is separated from Amy, his college lover. He refuses to let go, he refuses to forget. That's what love does to people isn't it? It makes things harder to let go-but in the end we find out that it's worth it. That the best things in life aren't store bought, and that home isn't always a place.
Love is a shadow, a constant reminder. May it be a good one, or an annoyance, it depends on how we treat it.

Her face, lips, and smile, and her nose. Even her long, curled lashes. "Let's do a butterfly kiss!" She exclaims, pulling my face close suddenly. Kiss? My heart hammers in my chest, my breath hitching. Her small hands hold my face close to hers. It's not very forceful, I could pull away if I wanted to, but I let her have control. Her hands are warm and soft against my jaw. Getting closer, her eyes lashes flutter and I find myself holding my breath. She brushes her lashes to mine, her breath fanning against my lips. Subconsciously, I lean forward, wanting my lips to be on hers. June flutter her lashes, grazing her lashes to mine. Out of nowhere she bursts out in a fit of laughter. I flinch back. Butterfly kiss.
