But for me you were the sun and the moon and all the stars in between. You were the excited emotions I felt when i reached the ****** in a book and every mixed emotion I felt at the end of a book.

You were the christmas lights hung in my room and the pillows I weep on at night. You were the street lamps that lit my way in the cold dark. You were every tear I've ever witnessed shed in the moonlight.

You were the dark winter nights and every poem I've ever managed to have written. You were all the laughter in all the world and all the make-up *** ever had. You were the ocean's salt in my eyes and the sweet sand under my feet.

You were every cigarette I'd ever smoked into my lungs and all the **** that's ever wrapped around my throat and dared to choke the life out of me. You were all the self conflicted cuts etched into my skin every sad and lonely night.

You were the word 'love' written in scarlet letters across my forehead. You were every battle I've ever fought and every chance of victory I've ever gotten. You were hope and confidence and all the self esteem I could muster up into my single being.

You were the crumpled pieces of me lying on the floor lulling my own heart to no longer beat. You were the change in me and all the happiness I had began to see.

And now you're just gone.
