When we reach the house, I turn around and beam at him.

“I will not walk this earth without you.
But alone I stand,
on the soil where you once professed your undying love for me.
On this here ground
is where you lived,
loved,
and perished into oblivion.
Every day I shall miss you more and more.
Those hazel eyes…
Those plump lips of which i used to kiss without cease.
Don’t say another word,
for I know you couldn’t even if you tried.
You are gone.
Perha...
Through young love and the world at our feet,
I will not walk this earth without you.
Through the pain we endured too soon in life,
I will not walk this earth without you.
Through the joy of choosing each other every day,
I will not walk this earth without you.
