(nothing).

Above all else, there remains a
bond between us, something
carnal and criminal yet
deep and destined.

Everything we shared,
for better or worse -- would you
give that up, quicker than a
heartbeat?

I remember when we first met
just like it was yesterday:
kaleidoscope eyes and a smile like a
lantern; you used to shine so much brighter.

Many months passed;
new loves came and went;
only, I could never focus my blurring vision
properly on anyone but you.

Quietly you left,
rending my soul from my body,
stealing it away
through the middle of nowhere to your dreams.

Underneath everything we talked about, there lay a
vague hope within me that our
weak, watery contentment would evolve, become
X-rated, mature into something no one expected.

You were scared of change, though, so our
zephyr, our peak, faded suddenly into

(nothing).
