Beautiful You

I remember when you used to take me here. Just to get away from it all. We would sit on the hill side and watch the clouds roll by. Birds would chirp and butterflies would flutter.

I would always say, “This is so beautiful.” You would turn to me and tell me, “Nothing is ever beautiful without you.”

We would then kiss or you would tell me how much you loved me. We ran together hand in hand, trying to run away from time. I wished it would never end. I was in love.

Now I find myself here without you. Tears rolling down my face, I now sit on grass and wish you are here. Imagining you are with me now is not enough. The sun won’t shine now that you are gone. The butterflies won’t flutter and the birds won’t chirp. I guess nothing is ever beautiful without you.
