THE CRUSH

The sky was black as it forced the rain down around me.

I walked, hurried, thinking of the pleasure of your company.

To see that smile and to feel the comfort of knowing.... knowing you.

I burst through the door of the store, shocked. Dismayed.

You were not to be seen by me on that day.

A single tear slipped from my eye to my face.

I did my best to maintain my composure.

Incredible strength I showed on that dark, dark day.

But I shall live.

Live on.

Me.
