Silence.
Its quiet here....
well...almost silent.
There are a few crickets and the sound of dead leaves dancing on the grass....
Tts a perfect summer night...stars overhead shining all to dully for my tastes. The wind blew through my hair as i lie on the cool, dewy grass, my grey eyes peering up into the endless nightime canopy.
Where are you?
You promised a life time of fairytale nights like this one... here they are. But you arent here under the beaded sky in my arms anymore.
They told me that there is happiness beyond the tears...and there is.. but you arent there beyond the tears.
I sighed heavily, my eyes shutting on a cold world. Earlier that night i had sat and watched the sunset for the first without you in all these years weve been apart.
Maybe im holding on.
I could feel the moon on my skin, the warm air tugging at my hearts support beams.
Why arent you here?
Its just like before... the first night we met...
'A perfect, starry, far too warm summer night.
Sneaking off holding hands as we passed all the strangers in the crowd, their eyes passing over us like we were a plague.
I still remember the first time you kissed me, sitting on the railroad tracks, my heart racing from sneaking off so horribly.
You leaned over smiling and kissed me softly, your hand touching my cheek softly.
I fell into your arms..and it started to rain. '
'Moments lost in the summer nights, but time remains and i am still proud of what we were.
I cant forget what we claimed as ours. '
My eyes opened again, shifty grey clouds moving over my stars and i felt a light rain on my cheeks.
Just like then.
I felt the warm tears welling up in my eyes and i swallowed hard, remembering it in all too vivid detail.
I fell asleep out there in the grass on that hill in the cemetary, right where we used to lie together.
'I cant believe its been three years....almost four now... 4 long years without you here... since ive felt your skin on mine... since ive peered into your eyes. How have i survived this place without you my love? '
'My beloved..do you know how many times ive stared at clouds thinking that i saw you there?
I wake day after heartbreaking day, only wanting you next to me.'
'4 years. '
'I miss you more than i ever thought i would and my heart is only yours. ever and a day just like we swore. '
