I walk these streets, Travis. These very lonely streets. Every step I take floods me with memories of us. How could I ever forget you when there's always something there to remind me? Huh? There's always something. Remember that café where we used to dance at night? We used to get lost in the music playing and intertwine with every chord. We became a beautiful harmony. Don't you remember?
It's past 12, and the shadows of the night fall across the Café. It doesn't look as vibrant as your soul does. You were so handsome and so full of life. I might be greedy because I held you so tight, hoping I could contain all that just for me. Your love radiated throughout my body; your warmth could melt the coldest heart. But you left me, bae. How could you take away the sun from me and leave me to freeze? You told me it was over, and my body shook. You said you needed space, and I thought that I couldn't give you that, but I gave you six feet. See? I'm even capable of compromise.
You were mine, my love, and only mine. You were meant for me, and I was born to love you. Fate, they call it. You'll always be a part of me. Do you remember the park bench where we sat, and you would just listen to me talk for hours and hours? Remember? That one bench near the old oak tree? You always used to say you have two ears and one mouth to listen twice as much. I knew you wouldn't mind if I took one.
It's been two weeks since you asked to leave me, but you are the reason my heart beats. I refused your suggestion of ending it, babe, because our love is eternal…kind of like your sleep now. I always keep something to remind me of you. That sweet and tender love we shared… I go back to the places we used to go just to feel like we are still there. I talk like you are still there. You are my personal diary, sweetie. And I'll never forget you...
*Pulls an ear out of her pocket*
"Cause there is always something there to remind me."
