She Said Yes

Romance Sad

Written in response to: "Write about a person or object vanishing into thin air." as part of Elemental.

She said yes.

My heart falls.

She said yes.

But I want you.

****************

You made me so happy.

You said I was like a sister.

But I loved you.

You didn't see it.

But I did.

****************

You met her.

She was a spark to match yours

A mirror of your soul.

But that was us.

I was your best friend.

But I wanted more.

For you to love me.

****************

You walk over.

I try to be happy. Really.

You deserve each other.

But my love still beats.

Jealousy is in the pot too.

Sorrow, pain, and, sadly, no hope.

Hope that you see.

me. What I feel.

For you.

****************

It may not have been right.

You saw family in me.

I can be okay with that.

I still love you.

You look so happy in that suit.

Watching her walk up the aisle.

You remembered your sister.

Front row seats.

And I'm happy

For you. Her. You both.

And me.

****************

I still love you.

You were my most favorite friend.

Who was an angel of fifth grade.

With a dino tee and Oreos.

Who loved me like a sister.

Just don't forget.

That girl crying in the corner.

The one who took the Oreo.

The one who sit here.

While you kiss her.

I smile.

Remembering us.

****************

Don't forget us.

You and me.

The moments we share.

Your weird little friend you love.

Don't forget okay?

****************

I got inspired at 9 pm to write this.
I'm so cheesy.
It feels good.
Love you all.
