"If I could be any part of you,
I'd be your tears;
To be conceived in your heart,
Born in your eyes,
Live on your cheeks,
And die on your lips."

Though sweet your offer be,
And happy would our time,
You give nothing unto me
And offer to mine.
You hand me roses by the bed,
Offer posies that will fade,
And though through Spring I would be led
No lasting promises were to be made.
Evening will come after sun,
And Autumn soon as well.
Though no love will have begun,
To play with my heart, I could not tell.

I know I wrote this for a school assignment, but I honestly don't remember what story it was for, but I know that it was in response to a guy who left a girl after making her fall for him back in the seventeen hundreds.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
