Liam

he left you seven years ago because he thought you were too perfect now he meets you again and the same burning feelings return full force. He sees you again, coincidence or not he notices that your wearing that tacky leather braided bracelet he made you back then, back when everything was nearly perfect. I'm a broken whisper he asks "why haven't you burnt it?" "Burn it?" you whisper in a rasp filled with horror as tears spring to your eyes, a mixture of hurt and anger flashes in your eyes "want me to rip my heart out too? Never...". you take a breath trying to control your emotions. "of course I kept it, maybe you were too blind to see what we had but I wasn't, at first I thought it was a phase, that you wanted a break..then it turned to weeks, then months, I tried so freaking hard not to lose hope in us. And then you started acting like I was just like everyone else and my heart shattered completely. So yeah, I'm keeping this picture. Maybe I'm delusional, maybe you lied, but it felt real enough when we were together" you laugh bitterly finally letting the tears fall and choke on a sob. "seven years...and look at me...I can't move on..maybe you were right to leave, maybe I'm the crazy one if I can't let go of you when you so clearly want nothing to do with me. I don't know what I did, I couldn't figure it out...could you at least tell me so I can have closure? I'm done hurting all over again, every time I see you and can't run to you and..." you take a shuddering breath, eyes glassy , cheeks flushed, trembling*
