you pushed pretty little lies out through your gritted teeth and formed pretty little smiles to follow after them


    i was enchanted and who wouldn''t be, a beautiful girl like you only came around once in a lifetime, and i don''t just mean beauty as in face


    i mean beauty as in soul


    as in body


    as in heartIf you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    but those were words i never expressed because deep down, i knew you were keeping something from me, so i kept this from you


    now i regret it everyday


    no one knows now


    no one knows where you are, no one knows who you were, and i can''t figure out why


    it''s driving me insane that no one remembers like me, why don''t they remember


    why can no one but me see you, why are you doing this to me, Hope


    i want to talk about the way you danced in the mud on rainy days, i want to talk about the pictures you painted that hung in the halls at school, i want to talk about that picture of you that sat in the glass case from that art show that you won


    but no one saw the footprints you trailed back into the dance hall, no one sees the lightest parts of the walls where your framed pieces used to hang, no one remembers the face of the girl that smiled at everyone in the main hall


    and i can''t understand why


    please help me understand why
