I won't stop watering the rose you planted in my heart, not because I think we might have our worlds intertwined again. but so when the cold claims me, I'll have the memory that I'm human... that once I felt something. I want to set what we were on fire, sit back and watch the flames lick my eyes, dancing in my vision putting on a show that i would eagerly entertain to destruct my heart from the sinking hole calling it's name. but I've always been impulsive, so no I won't burn it down. Instead I sit with the memories heavy on my lap, and like wine they age gracefully but for a taste too close to home I still find them distasteful.
