Unwoven Memories

I felt it.

That moment when it clicked and you were everything I wanted.

I felt it.

Every emotion I ever ran from finally catching up to me.

You were there until you weren’t.

It ended as fast as it started.

I wanted you so badly.

Everything that never made sense aligned like stars just to watch the galaxy fade to black.

I thought….I thought we felt something.

I thought something special happened.

Something did.

I made it all up in my head.

You were there. But you weren’t.

I wanted you so bad.

I needed you to want me back.

I thought it was love.

I lied.

It was the only thing that sense.

You made me feel…something.

I couldn’t let that go.

But I wasn’t holding onto anything but my imagination.

Alone.

Every night alone.

It was always this way.

Should have known better and left it there.
