"When you left you took so much more with you than you think. You took her light, her air, her ability to trust. She became such a dark person after you left. She feared nothing but love. She knew the worst place she could be in was in someone’s arms. She began to put walls up until she was completely surrounded
She wasn’t like that before. Don’t you remember?
She used to just look up at you and smile. She’d lay her elbow on the center console to be closer to you. You’d just look over with those fucking eyes of yours. Every time you did that you drew her in more.
Do you know what she used to think about as she would lie in bed awake? The two of you, mostly you. She’d think about the way your lips moved when you said certain words, the way you’d roll your eyes at her in the most delicate way. Nothing you did ever seemed poisonous, even the bad things.
It all seemed like it was just a step on the staircase to complete euphoria. She never stopped talking about you, but nobody asked her to stop. They were dumbfounded by how fond she was of you. No one understand how much she loved you, not even you.
So that’s what you left behind;
A girl who believed love couldn’t be a fairytale, because fairytales weren’t as lovely as you.”
