You Were My Spring

You were a leaf that came across my path, colorful and fresh. You brought a smile to my face, I’d been living in autumn too long and suddenly your presence made everything spring. There were blooms, there was color, there was freshness. Everything I touched was new. Everything I felt was born just then. Your innocence was as endearing as refreshing it could be. Your smile brightened my day and night. You brought me immense happiness that words can never explain. In fact there aren’t the right words yet to describe what I felt with you around me.

When you held my hand my world was shrunk to that moments touch, everything around me ceased to exist besides you, when you took me in your arms there was nothing that bothered me. It was just you and me in that moment forever. That moment of intimacy lasted till eternity. You became my universe.

And then one day you changed your colors, from the freshness of spring you became dry and dead, you made me cry, you walked away. You turned your back on me and never looked around. You stopped loving me. And as you stopped loving me you took my universe with you. you left me with nothing, no sky to cover, no earth to walk on. My breaths were difficult, my pain was unbearable and my tears just wouldn’t stop.

I wonder if you’ve ever felt empty without me. I wonder how you can sleep at night without the guilt of breaking my heart into a thousand pieces, disturbing the nights peace. Do you ever think about me? Do you miss me?

I’ve stopped missing you now, but you’ve turned into my worst nightmare from the time when your thought could make me smile like an idiot. Your memories are fading with time and the pain is lessening. But as my wound hardens remember you’ve lost someone who loved you truly and madly. You’ve lost someone who cared for you unconditionally, remember always that leaving me was your loss. I shall move on and become the happy person I was as time will heal me, but you shall always live with the guilt of breaking a heart that adored you to bits.
