It begins with a hush—
the kind that fills your chest,
right before the sky remembers
how to open its heart.
And then it starts—
light breaking through darkness
with no warning, no mercy.
It’s beautiful,
almost unbearably so.
You look up,
and for a second
you forget the silence
that comes after.
I held your hand once
beneath that color sky.
We didn’t speak.
There are no words
that can touch what it feels like
to watch something so eminent
already beginning to end.
That was us
All color,
all chaos,
flashes of everything we wanted to be
and knew we couldn’t hold.
You laughed,
and it cracked something in me.
Not because it wasn’t real—
but because it was.
'Real things don’t last
the way we want them to'
And still,
if I close my eyes—
I swear I can feel the heat
on my face,
like you never left.
Like we are still
watching the skies collide in pastel neons
Like the ending
was always worth
the wonder.
We loved like fireworks.
Loud.
Bright.
Gone.
