Year 2002.
FLASHBACK;
I was currently sitting ontop of a desk, Draco's head on my lap as I ran my fingers through his hair. Humming 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' gently.
"Alex, can I tell you something..well, it's a poem actually." Draco murmured, lifting his head up slightly to look at me. I nodded my head, curiosity wanting to hear this poem of his. "Mhm!"
He took a deep breath almost seeming nervous.
"Dark of the night comes when the sun sinks..A heart shattered and filled with grief.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked around the area, realising that I was standing by the railing of the balcony and I had accidentally dropped my cup seeing it shattered on the ground beneath the balcony. A sigh left my lips. 'I have to stop thinking about him..' I thought to myself, playing with the sliver diamond ring on my ring finger.

I see
a stranger in
your eyes,
where once I
saw a
soulmate.
— It breaks my heart
