No Title

I loved you. The way your hair fell whimsically and swayed in the wind. The way even your glistening eyes smiled when you looked into mine and slowly kissed me as we shared that final moment. I wish I had known. The pain of longing to share those with you again - the feeling of your arm around me as we lay peacefully together - lingers. Those blissful moments blinded by such a pure emotion. Happiness. No, Love. The linger, it stings like a bull ant bite. Increasingly more and more painful until - numbness. I feel nothing. … I wish I could have told you. I wish you could have known. I reminisce on the past as I lay here all alone. Its quiet. The days in which joy filled the air, are now long gone and done. I dwell here now, destined with despair, as the days lead on. I wish I knew why you let me go, almost too easily. I wish you told me why, on that fateful day, when you finally saw me cry.”
