[attr="class","pname"]"Under the Stars is where we met, and Under the Stars is where you left"

[attr="class","ptext"]Suffocating, drowning in the vast ocean of emotions that drug me under. Over and over again as I flailed, trying to grasp anything around me that could become my anchor. Anything, anyone. A hand slipped into mine, and I clung for dear life, finally able to breathe as you became my lifeline. You, with your hypnotic eyes and selfless charm. The alluring way you spoke, the way you helped me when no one else would. You became everything I needed, and more.

But nothing is meant to last forever, right?

That night, returning home to an empty house, walls barren from the photos we took, the memories that we had made. Instead they were scattered on the floor, broken glass littered everywhere. The dog crying desperately from outside, scratching at the wooden fence you had built, wondering where you had gone. As I walked upstairs, the hallway could not feel longer, the door to our bedroom open, but no light filtering onto the hardwood floor as it once had when you were here. Our bedroom stripped of life that had once been there, the bed properly made, cold to the touch as my fingers slid to the empty space where your pillows had once been. Just as you had brought warmth and peace to my world, you had left it in utter darkness and chaos.

I slid to the floor, hands clutched to my chest as I felt myself drowning once more. How could you do this? How could you leave me? Questions pouring and overflowing as I tried desperately not to go under, to not be claimed once more by the ocean that once held me captive. As I gulped down air like a fish out of water, I felt myself finally succumb to the numbing pain that ebbed through my entire body.

However, there was no one to save me this time.
