Bits and pieces Quote by Michael Nodo
“The Only girl.. I've ever loved was born with roses in her eyes.. Pain was written all over them.. was it all a disguise? Her smile? Hid the bits and pieces of her heart.. It was scattered, broken and torn apart.. Like she would later leave mine.. She couldn't take it anymore.. So she left.. I couldn't eat, wouldn't sleep.. Felt like I was suffocating, drowning in my own emotions.. So I stayed up.. Did a lot of thinkin'.. About you and all those emotions, all those feelings.. I'd invested.. Kinda buried me alive... Those that ever said there was a reason, those that ever said time would heal... LIED.. because neither time nor any reason could ever change how I feel about you... No one knows the ache that I hide behind my smile.. No one knows how many times I've broken down, felt like part of me died.. I want to tell you something so there won't be any doubt.. She was like a drug.. I just couldn't live without.. But in the end Instead of stopping her.. I watched her slip away, I watched her fade into a memory.. Her heart couldn't take it anymore and so I let her go because I loved her too much to see her in all that pain.. I'll never forget the day she turned around and walked away.. Felt like my world ended that day.. I was in Hospital.. Got up from my bed pulled out the needles and ran after her.. Tears trickled down my face as she vanished into the distance... It felt like each step she took was a memory Fading, a Promise breaking, and a love dying… She went her way and I went mine though the memories were left behind, about a silly girl and foolish boy in love...”
