Song: Lovely (instrumental) by Billie Ellish Entries You are what I wish for every 11:11 and every shooting star. I know my wish won’t come true if I tell someone, But i don’t think it was ever going to. My nights go by, Wishing I was right by your side. Holding you in my arms as the sun goes down and the moon arises. Looking into your brown eyes, Our hearts synced to the beat of the music, Swaying side to side, Smiling became as easy as falling in love with you to begin with. But then I come to realize, This was only a fantasy. Your touch wasn’t real, Your words didn’t exist, And your love was never there. It was just as true as a lucid dream. The sun comes out, Yet everything is black and white to me. Flowers become as dull as rain, People become walking shadows, life becomes a still painting, with a broken canvas. What hurts the most out of all of this is that you convinced my heart it wasn’t enough. that no matter how many tears it shed, how many pieces it left, how many times it accepted you back after every mistake, it still couldn’t make you stay. It held on to every kiss, every hug, every memory, every word, every part that you were willing to give until you stopped giving. We were so close to love, But it just wasn’t enough. I wish that when i closed my eyes, your laugh wasn't what I saw. I wish that my hands didn’t tremble when you turned the corner. I wish that when I hear your voice, my heart didn’t ache. I wish that you didn’t leave with no explanation. I wish that you believed in love as much as I did. Erin-Grace is a student in Ms. Barbour's World Literature course.
