I watched you as you slept, surrounded by the comfort of familiar walls. I kissed your cheek as an early goodbye, one that only I knew was nearing. I thought about that happiness you'd find, and the harsh reality that was waiting patiently for me. Your eyes lit up when you first made his acquaintance and you smiled like you used to for me. That feeling that you were sure I stole, slowly flowed back through your heart and years of black and white were suddenly now in color. You saw me for who I was, no one special at all. Someone that could easily be forgotten, if remembered at all. However, you dear are not simple to erase.
