It's feels like your heart isn't beating,

but you know it is because it's going so fast.

And you said you couldnt breathe without them but you know if you held your breath until they came back, you would have passed out.

The way their small eyes shined and the words they said that were burned so violently into your mind and left a handprint on your body that other fingertips couldn't dare match.

All you have is a photo, words, and such heavy empty promises.

At that moment, at this very moment, you realize that the ache in you will always be there.

Puppy love but the bite it leaves is one of a lion.

A caterpillar so desperate to change only to realize how short life really is.
