Falling into a bottomless pit seems like a never ending scream. You hold on tight and wait for it to end. You fall and fall till you think you’ll never hit the ground. You find yourself blaming others, hating everyone including yourself. Self hatred becomes reality. You take your heart and squeeze it tightly. Wishing it would stop beating to end this pain. Your hot salted tears fall from your eyes. Your sobs escape your mouth as it echo’s throughout the fall.
Memories come into your mind. As every one important passes through your mind. Every second counts. Your parents, friends, teachers. Everyone flashed through your mind. A quick preview of your life. Your tears stopped falling. They would never care. You closed your eyes to let more tears fall as one last picture comes into your head. Yet its blurry. Who is this person? Why is their picture blurry? Why can’t you think of their name? What is it that they won’t show their face to you? Who is this person?
You think hard even with this never ending fall. You go through all your friends names. But one thing in your heart and mind is telling you to dig deeper. Much deeper then you can imagine. Every memory of your life comes into play. It flashes through your head, his face blurry, but not as blurry as before. Your eyes becoming wide as every memory opens your heart up even more.
Slowly, the one picture comes up. A small but shy kiss between lovers shared on a starry night. The moon high above your head and the trees surrounding the both of you. Your heart pounding fast. Your tears lessen as one thing is whispered from your lips.
“My love…”
You closed your eyes as you feel the ground coming closer. You embrace yourself. A smile on your lips. A warm feeling going through you. As the end comes near.
“Good-bye…”
Your shut your eyes tightly as your body tenses. Preparing for the most pain you’ll ever be in. The air around you becomes less. No sound in made, no movement at all. Not one thing is uttered. Not one thing. The birds chirp. The wind blows the grass to one side. As it whispered into the girls ear.
“Wake up…”
You open your eyes and looked up into a deep pool of sapphire. They sparkle with joy. As they looked into you with love and care. Their heart beat fast and strong. You could feel it through their chest. They embrace you tightly and sets you carefully on the soiled ground as a few tears leaked from their eyes. They cupped your cheek and gently slide their thumb across your cheek gently. You stare into their eyes for the longest of time. Tears slowly rising to your eyes as well. He takes your chin in his hands and hold it with his thumb. Bringing your face closely to his.
He laid his lips gently on yours. Your tears fell from your eyes as you closed them gently. As you kissed him back with all your heart. This kiss couldn’t even be described even with the longest of words or books. It was unreal. Like a fairytale type of kiss. A kiss that only comes for a princess. As they ride off into the sun set with their prince charming. A happily ever after for the princess after all the pain she went through.
Slowly you both parted. As he looked into your eyes. Not one word was uttered from him. You bit your bottom lip in regret.
“I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…” you sobbed out.
He embraced you. But this time closer. As if he would never get a chance to hold you like this again. You two stayed like that for a long time. The sun above you going down to sleep behind the mountains. The moon awakening to give the sky a beautiful glow. The stars shinning brightly to try and match their giant friend. Fire flies flew around the large woods. Surrounding you and him in their lights.
He lets you go and looks into the sky. It was like that same night many years ago. The moon full and the stars stunning as usual. But the fire flies were a new background. He looked down at you with the softest eyes ever. A small warm smile on his handsome face. He took your hand in his and gently helped you up. You smiled at him. He took you in his arms once more. But for a short time before uttering the one thing you never got tired of hearing from his lips.
“I love you…”
Love can do many things to you. It can drive you crazy with jealousy, or it can drive you insane from worry. But one thing that love does, it make you care about the person who stole your heart. Love saves you and brings you back to life.

- 3/5 not because it was bad but because it seems more like poetry than a story as a story involves characters and a progressive plot line where this seems to state the feelings and emotion of the person.
