We talked for hours about everything,
Starting with her favorite color, which is and was baby blue,
I laughed because coincidentally it was mine too.

As we delved into all the things we had recently been through
That’s when she told me that she had never loved before you.

her soul.
Split her body,
mind, and heart.
