Love at the Absolute Worst Ending.

The second our eyes met, my world stopped.
I didn't know how you were called or even how long you've walked the Earth.
Something inside of me churned in desire.
My heartbeat raced, pounding against my ribcage.
I didn't know how this could happen in a quarter of a second.

I worked up the courage to approach you.
I learned of your name, unique, not likely to be duplicated.
I learned of your desire, your view of the world around you.
and at the same time, I was terrified you'd hear the individual beats in my chest.
That they were beating because of you.

You confessed your love for me after such short distance.
You welcomed me as your everything.
You told me I was beautifully different.
You asked me to be a part of your life, and your heart.
I accepted, not knowing what the consequences would be.

some days passed, and we sat together to socialize.
I was so naive, not knowing what were to happen.
you took your hand in mine and smiled.
my heart became strangely calm, and my face quite warm.
I looked above and our eyes met, the first time I knew of what I was feeling inside.

We repeated the same local ritual for days.
at the end, I guided you to safety.
we knew of no different between other pairings.
we knew of comfort and peace again.
this is what we were living for.

you wrapped yourself around me, taking me closely.
pushing away my hair to get closer.
you darkened your sight, and brought yourself forward.
you kept going, and you brought me even closer.
and then our lips softly met in middle.

we stood there, with no other distractions.
our hearts beat as one.
the only place I knew was your arms.
the only thing I knew was that moment.
the only thing that mattered was you.

after perfection for so long, you fell away from me.
you told me I was no longer a part of your heart or your life.
you left me in your world without you in it.
nothing felt safe, nothing felt calm.
my heart felt violent and my face left cold.

you gave another girl the place I once owned.
your heart and your life belonged to her once again.
you lied, and cheated me out of knowledge that would stop the heartache.
our eyes would never meet again.
and our hearts were no longer as one.

you left me to suffer in a world that I never knew would come back to me.
