My heart reads like a letter . Convincing my lips to Speak like a widow who lost her husband in a terrible accident . “It’s like burning everything around us to keep the cold at bay. To keep the warmth in our tones , to keep that comfort between us there. To prove that what he had was more than a feeling. But I didn’t know that the smoke that came from those flames would slowly be the death of us.” “It’s like we were fighting for our lives while in a car that’s flipped 50 times. Who could’ve known this would happen. All we could do is watch it unfold.” “And I know that I should forgive him but ... he stopped fighting first. I know the circumstances were against us but I just don’t know what to do with this sudden end. He should have stayed even just a little longer . Why wasn’t the love that we had stronger ?
