my heart let you go when i didn't want it to
you loved me as if i was what kept you living
we had that rom-com type of love that you can only find in movies
that love that every teenage girl would die for
you were there for me when i wasn't there for myself
and darling
what we had was beautiful

"will you take me to a place where we can see the stars?" i quietly whispered as you held me in the dark
"of course, beautiful" you smiled
"promise?"
"i promise" you kissed my forehead gently

all we ever wanted was to see the stars together
i wanted to be able to feel what the stars were trying to whisper to us
they kept trying to tell us something
but i suppose we will never know
for i broke that promise that you made to me
because my heart finally decided to tell me: "darling, it's time to go"
