The first part...

The sun, it shone brighter. It’s as if it worked in time with the beat of my heart as it began to rush with even the slightest glance from you. The moon was bigger, to light up the night so I could still see your eyes. And the stars were its followers, providing companionship so the moon wasn’t up in the sky alone.

The crisp air of the morning was dulled by the warmth of your breath against my neck. And when evenings grew near and the silence set in, I could hear your heartbeat from across the room.

The moments of silence came often, but were welcomed. The silence spoke louder as our eyes met, then our hands, then our lips. And the unspoken passion suddenly screamed louder than a word has ever been spoken. 

But the loud sound isn’t piercing. My ears want only more.

I gave you all.

The notes I play are a melody you know.

I ignore it.

The words I speak are recycled and overused.

I say them only to myself.

The pain I feel reaches another limb of my body tonight.

I wait for it to overcome.

I fall asleep without knowing.

I wake up alone.

I let go.

I breathe in an air that comes from a new direction. Its smell is different, it lingers longer. I wonder if I should turn my head, to see if I can still get some of the air I breathed before.

I stare straight forward.

My neck wants to turn back to yesterday’s view. This part of my body seems to be connected to my heart.

But my head keeps my eyes forward. My head keeps my eyes forward.
