When We Were Red Carnations

"Things came to a stop, where had the time gone in those moments of silence; I couldn't tell you. My heart pounded in my chest to the point where I thought if it went on any longer I'd have a heart attack right then and there. I tried to muster up words but my throat hurt as if it didn't want me to say the things I wanted to say knowing I'd regret them later. I was angry, sad, frustrated, confused, happy, I was a lot of things. Yet in that moment I only saw one person, who then saw me. Looking at me with the same eyes that now had kept memories; precious memories."
