He Left Me Alone

23

He made me believe in love.

That love was not a meaningless word you shouted to people to tell them how you felt.

He didn't tell me what love really meant to him. He believed that if dictionary couldn't define love correctly, he was nothing to try to define.

And love was not only an intense feeling of deep affection.

It was more than that.

It was there. In every single living creature.

It sure couldn't be seen. But it was there. Vague.

But I saw love lightning up in his green eyes.

I saw it in the way he kept my hand in his. I saw it sparkling in his beautiful smile.

I saw love in him.
