"Some days, I forget that you ever left."
Brown eyes opened, quickly being greeted by a new day. The figure shielded tired eyes and turned over in the bed. A hand fell onto the empty space beside her on the bed. A space that had once been occupied by a figure bigger than her own. Grief overcame her features as she caressed the empty spot.
"Those are the days I miss you the most."
She walked out into the bright, new day. A never-darkened sun was shining above her. A sigh escaped her lips. These mornings used to be a lot easier for her. Even now, she still felt his touch. The comforting hand on her shoulder and the passionate kiss on her lips.
"I get through all of those hard days... somehow."
Coming back into the busy house, she passed by several familiar faces. The same faces she had seen many times before. Subconsciously, she faked yet another smile.
"I wish I could say that I'm as happy as everyone thinks I am."
Never did they see through her empty smile. And, every time they failed to look pass it, she just felt worse inside. Every day, she hated lying so easily to them, but she couldn't live a day without doing it. Her lies had become a part of the life she lived.
"But that's what I happen to do so greatly...Create a convincing facade."
She had visited this place many times before. It was a secret place that only the two of them knew of. Where they could find each other when no one else could. Many times she came here in the hopes that she'd find him. Waiting for her with the usual confident smile on his face. Not once had she found him here since that day.
"I wish I could blame you for all the mistakes I couldn't fix."
She fell to her knees in anguish. No longer could she fight this pain building up inside of her. Tears began to stream down her hand-covered face. Her mind continually wished that she'd feel his hand on her shoulder once more. To return to her and stop her crying. As the tears continued to fall, nothing happened. She didn't feel his comforting hand or hear his calming voice. He was gone and she was alone.
"But I'm just as guilty as you, maybe even more so. And maybe that's why you left..."
