When I first saw you, the world stopped and you were all there was. I felt like angels had taken me from my darkest place and stapled my soul to the sun, because you made everything seem that much brighter. You smiled and I was overcome with a sense of awe, like that smile was made for me to admire, as if i had crafted it myself in another life so I could fall in love with it in this one.

When I last saw you, my soul was still stapled to the sun as it burst into a million pieces and sent shards of me flying across the universe never to be seen again. When I last saw you, you broke me and left me feeling more empty than when I had no one at all.

You built me, then destroyed me.
