Piano lessons… The thought of Bella sitting at my piano, a light smile plastered across her face as her fingers flew across the notes…ah, the melody. I was peaceful for a slight second, just thinking of my angel.

My train of thought was brought to an abrupt halt when I realized—My piano…back at my old home? We didn’t bring it along with us; we left in such a hurry. That’s where she was! I dropped the letter and bolted out the window, darting straight for the woods. That’s when I heard her angelic voice get louder as I quickly neared the house…

Outside the air is cold as winter begins and fall, they say that you are gone

Then I saw her, through the wide glass windows, her petite form in front of the piano with her eyes shut, her fingers playing the most melancholy tune I’ve heard in a long time. She opened her mouth again, and I was ripped into shreds as I heard the sweet melody, finally paying attention to the words she was singing with such emotion.

In my mind I hold you here but it's hard to match your sounds, proves that you're nowhere near… they say I must be strong

She sighed, taking a shaky breath as she opened her breathtaking brown orbs. They were exquisite; she was exquisite. Yet they were filled with tears, and it took all the strength in me to refrain from running up to her and kissing them away. I wanted so badly to hold her close and promise her, this time a promise I would never break, that I loved her, and that I wasn’t ever going to leave again.

But I can't find the need to take a breath, if you are gone then I've got nothing left

Of course you do, you silly, beautiful girl! Your life is worth more than me, more than a worthless creature who couldn’t protect what he loved, so much more—I screamed at her in my head.

My life, shouldn't I rather face my death than to go on without you?

Nothing reckless…I was glad I’d made her promise me that. I could not, and would not, live in a world where she doesn’t exist. She was everything; she was the only thing I lived for.
