Remembering Him

Summer for me was always spent on the beach reading from morning till night . I would go places without going anywhere . I would live in my own world and the real one would fade away .

That is until the house next door got owners . He would take me to explore . Forbidding me to take one of my countless books I had yet to read . He showed me a life beyond my world's . A life beyond my books .

Little did I know it was his last summer . That he would not be there the next or ever again . That he had been given time and he spent every moment he could with me .

'I love you . ' was the last words he said when we parted and the words I would alway remember. Then he was no more . The boy I loved was gone and I was left with only bits and peaces of him .
