I believe I was in love before. A burst of warmth, like a gust of wind in the summer. A joy that clouds the mind and makes it fuzzy. Yes, I believe I was. For how else can I explain the tears? The pain when it ended? The anger I was DENIED to express without causing further damage? The sickness that penetrated so deep I could not eat for days. Yes, I was in love, but now it's a vague memory.
I wrote this almost exactly a year ago after reading cait-cait's poem "Obituary" by which it is heavily inspired- love you dude, happy birthday!
