Because on that day, the day that the sun shined bright and the waves rolled strong, Your consummate hazel eyes glistening, allured me to you. Your ash-blonde hair, flowing in the wind. Perhaps if i was able to resist you, my world would be in one piece right now. But I couldn't. Perhaps if i hadn't brushed the sand off my body, and joined your stupid volleyball game, I wouldn't be writing this. Because your love was one that consumed me. It absorbed the life out of my soul, depleted my happiness. I still remember the smell of cigarettes and cologne, and the place where I pictured my life with you. Where do you go when your whole heart relinquishes from your body? When the person you thought you would spend your life with, gets on a plane, and flies across the country, forever. 2,299 miles away. Maybe this is how it was supposed to be, who really knows anyway? It still hurts the same. *s.m.
