there was a time when we were in love. there were weeks when you and i would talk until dawn would break from the mountains. when i would fall asleep knowing i was loved, and would wake up happy and ready to be loved again. there were days that i would count down until the day i could see you again, those days were the worst. but the best days were the ones when i could see that face of yours. the face i loved more than you could ever know. there were hours spent laughing our ***** off under a clear sky and a city of stars. those hours felt like lifetimes, until they left like seconds. because soon it curdled; weeks were spents worrying, days were spent crying, and hours were spent looking at an empty inbox. but i do promise you there was a time when i loved you. and even if it was only for a split second, a time when you loved me too. because somewhere, there was love intertwined in the knot of “us.” it ended and i’m okay, because it was for the best. but i someday, somewhere, in some lifetime, our “us” lasted until the end of time. and there’s a part of me that wishes more than anything, that that lifetime was this one.
