“I never thought that one day, I’d lose you. I took our time together for granted and I realise now that I never should have. Now I’m left with nothing; absolutely nothing at all. I was alone before I met you and now I feel lonelier than ever. Is that even possible? To feel lonelier than lonely? Well, it seems like it is, because you made me feel this way. You triggered all my deepest fears; you made me feel like I couldn’t be loved, that there was something wrong with me. You told me you liked me, damn, should’ve realised the lies, all the lies. Why did you lie to me? I thought we had something real. The feeling I got with you was surreal.. you were a home away from home, the breath I never knew I needed, the skies in a purple hue, you are all things beautiful, you are like the stars that pepper my vision when you pressed your lips to mine for the first time. I couldn’t decipher the deception from your eyes, the hesitation hovering in those endless depths. I was the only one falling and you were just who you always were; unaffected while I fell into the well that was your abysmal, consuming, overwhelming, soul. What an honour. But now you’re gone, and I’m left here listening to tunes that all only remind me of you. Of how your hand reached out to hold mine so tenderly it was as if you were almost scared to.. but you did. You held it and made me feel the world, made me feel like a part of your world. There was sunshine in your veins and starlight in your eyes.. I was too lost in my infatuation, I mistook them for something harmless.. when you touched me, we merged.. your sunshine infected my bloodstreams and now I burn everytime I think about you, and it is often.. I now cry starlight, they drip down my cheeks in glazing trails; because every memory of you is too precious to be wasted away described as just ordinary salt water. I am ruined.. this is my karma. Now, I question my worth when anyone comes by looking to give me the world. But all they have to offer are temporary stars.. and I only want your sunlight. I realised then that you were the one that got away. What was I thinking? Sunshine could never be contained. And I am the moon.”
