My Candy Heart

The day I heard the news I slumped to my knees. The suitcases were already patched and they were saying their final good byes.

Then they're were gone.

Walking through the park is the hardest. Tears leak when I recall memories we made. The twin swing set we always played on? I couldn't bear to see it. Our favourite sweets shop? Dead in my eyes.

I remember us swinging together in sync at dusk. The sky was bright red with splashes of orange and a setting sun. The wind blowing through our hair as we threw our heads back laughing.

I remember when you grabbed my hand for the first time. Your face a bright red and your palm a little sweaty but our fingers fit perfectly linked together. 

Our first kiss was on our special swing set when you suddenly toppled on top of me and we collided. My heart was already long taken by him and when I think about it... He still has it.

It seems like yesterday when we swore we would always be together.... But he's gone. And just like that my heart shattered like the candy heart beneath my shoe...

Our sweet love...
