Intertwined fingers hold the warmth of my heart between. Connected, invincible, ever lasting everafter. We were running and laughing, teardrops eyes still resembling teardrops reflecting the lightest unexplainable feeling. Our feet were moving in time, our hearts were beating in perfect rhythm, but we were walking on air, and we didn’t even know we could.

Who thought first? It didn’t matter. It was both of us and we knew it. We didn’t talk, we only shared our singular laughing eyes that told us we never wanted this to end. It was the exact image of a fantasy, the perfect description of everafter. We didn’t cry, we only saw the beauty in eachother that we had failed to see our whole lives.

And suddenly the light is shining into my starstruck eyes and my heart is whole and complete, but I look around the beauty has vanished. I’d looked and looked, and I could only say that there was none left for me. I wished all my life for that beauty of the world to be seen, and within the moment of my confusion, it was gone.

So I thought long and hard, as my heart, once whole and complete, lost the small pieces that had once filled in the empty spaces.

And I wondered what could have happened if no one lied when they said they would never let go.
