I never thought I would fall in love in the wake of my sister's demise.
But there we were, fantasizing about a tomorrow I foolishly didn't believe I deserved.
Jenkins pushed me to the edge, catered to the destruction I would rather have hold my hand. He was a beam of arrogant light, and I was the illusion of a shadow.
"We can't pretend anymore, AJ. We have to stop suffering eventually. I promise I will catch you when you decide to live again."
But I hesitate with my tongue on the response he wants me to give. Even in the moonlight, I try and channel a mystic belief of renewal.
Do all the stars shine brightly when another one dies? In celebration of their existence, do we continue to burn bright for them?
My only hope is our affection can thrive while pain is also present.
