I remember sitting on the bench outside of your parents house, the way your head lay upon my shoulder as we listened to the river rush just out of reach of our feet. The night sky illuminated by car lights and airplanes that only made the night more special.

I remember sitting at the dinner table with the family I gladly said I loved. The energy in the room was indescribable as we all laughed at one another, light hearted banter at our expenses. The prayer beforehand. 

I walked into that relationship with the highest hopes, a determination that could only be beaten down by the Gods themselves. And as quickly as we began our journey, it was over. Eight months and we were to never speak to one another again. A Romeo and Juliet where I was the only killer. Two hearts with one call.

I walked into that dining room knowing the feast that awaited, lead by the aroma that trailed up the stairs. And as quickly as we were laughing, we cried harder than I care to admit. A final dinner with everyone for the foreseeable future, and a lost member to almost never return.

It's only been three months. Three months with you gone and I can't forgive myself for my own issues that drifted me apart. One month and I may never see you again, as you're off to further yourself for your own good. Nothing has been the same, and nothing will be the same.

I love you both.
