Favorite Quote:
"If I could be any part of you,
I'd be your tears;
To be conceived in your heart,
Born in your eyes,
Live on your cheeks,
And die on your lips."

The reflection in your eyes
No longer resembles who I am -
A person that used to be real
But someone that no longer can.
The image of me in your head
Is a past that doesn't exist -
A perfect person you created
That now you can't forget.
The way we used to be,
The feelings we once stirred,
No longer hold any meaning
With the changes that have occured.
We grew apart, you and I.
And now you're clutching to the past.
To feelings that were never there
And what we knew just wouldn't last.

The author's comments:
I wrote this December 4, 2009, but, honestly, I don't remember writing it at all. . So I really don't know what I was feeling or who I was thinking about, but I could probably give it a good a guess.

This is so descriptive and true.....I'm remembered for who I was, and I've changed so much. Thank you for such a beautiful way to say it. <3
