You were 7 the first time I met you. You loved eating home-made chocolate on that old, blue couch where you'd sit in my lap. You liked to talk to me. Don't you remember?
Or when you turned 9 and you started to play on your dad's piano. I remember teaching you Billy Joel's Vienna, numerous times. Remember the fourth note is G minor, okay Emy?
And when you turned 14, you wore those pretty summer dresses. You smelt like rain and vanilla and started to take walks in the forest with me. Your simplicity blew me away, and challenged me as well. But everything was fine, right Emy?
When 16 came along, you had reached the end of your maturity, and your hair had grown till your elbows. You were a woman in my eyes, and that's when I found an ethereal beauty inside you, where I found solace. God Emy, how I wish you knew how gorgeous you were.
You turned 19 and that's when everything collapsed around you, and you didn't even know. Everything that you knew about me had been burnt to ashes. Remember that you'd be the one I'd burn with, if the world turned to ashes.

"What I was suppose to do? You left me, you went to Arizona." I shout at him as he storms away.
"Wait for me." He shouts and I go mute. Did he really just say that? Had he really expected me to just sit around?
"Oh yeah, just like you did for me." I finally say, finding my voice.
"You moved on Elijah and it crushed me," I start as I get emotional and my voice breaks.
"You think I don't know? You think that I wasn't hurt? I spent ten months holding onto you and even after that I still won't let you go, I still can't let you go." Elijah flips, shocking me.
"You are everything Scarlett...and I am nothing without you." he says, eyes liquid as he stares intently at me. I notice how close we were to each other now. His hand on my waist now and I step in closer to him, heart racing like crazy.
"I am nothing without you," he repeats quieter, leaning in towards me.
