Today I return your hoodie, the red one soft as roses, you always stopped to admire
Today I return our photograph
The first one we ever took,
Clutching our love in a trembling frame
Today I return your book the one that leaves you in tears
Pages watered with emotions and fears
Today I return your teddy bear, the one light coco brown
The one that smelt like chocolate whenever I was around
Today I return your notes and the letters I never sent
Twisting and turning our story as if hoping it never ends
Today I return your promises the ones we couldn't keep
You promised you would love me and only me
Today I return the future we planned for days and days
I watch as the image turns ablaze
Today I return the version of myself
I shaped around you,
Because now I have to grow into someone new
Today I return all the memories we made along the way
Hoping you will hold them gently
So they never fade away
Today I return the love I held so tight
Hoping without me you can finally take flight

Dead and Wearing Green
She was wearing that green dress when I first saw her, five years ago to the day. Flowing meadow fabric draped over long legs, thick auburn hair flowing down her back. That smile. Of course, she is still beautiful now. But now she is no longer alive.
