She gave him life in the whim of passion. Drawing lines of pleasure. All of her pain that she's felt over the years. The very existence of all she's ever dreamed. All in the hopes that he'd never do the same. He and he alone would stand the test of time. The portrayal of locking eyes, deep shades of gray. Drawn and retraced. A homesickness suffered from the gift of tender eyes. She remembers the nights the rain wouldn't cease. The creases her face made in grief. In the end. All she had was the sketch pad that never left her side. He alone took each tear and rested his head beside them. Her sketch pad. This vigorous sketch that stared off into the distance. She screamed of warning to the oncoming flood. The beads of blue that traced every drop of rain. Blending bright and dark hues to the paper of her pad. Wool combs of hair colored in, blending into the background. She thought long and hard. First filling his hands with roses then taking them away. Deep marks left behind from a couple of flicks of her wrist. An eroding eraser. The blossoming of a new sketch, a tremble of thought. The rain came back even harder. More fierce the next sketch she made. Paved and coated over and over again. A fear that she would never become the recipient of all she's dreamed. Someone that would love her for all that she keeps hidden. She reacted to the woes of thunder and lightning. A tear made deep then covered. Resistant to all shes felt. A deep pain struck against the burrow of her heart. Every flower in the valley of her screamed in anguish to the water that continuously fell. The valley becoming a gutter in front of the driveway she drew. Blue and gray hues crosshatched across the page. Surrounding him in the background. Here he stood outside in the rain for hours in front of an empty house. His heart replacing the roses that filled his hands. Within the confines of her sketch pad she illustrated her best friend. The best friend she's ever known. Someone that she could trust. Made her feel whole. Here within the confines of her sketch pad. she illustrated how he made her feel. She drew breath into his lungs in true fear. Knowing that somethings aren't meant to happen. Of all things that she loved. She loved herself the most. Promising that she would never feel this hurt again. The torment of having something precious ripped away. A homesickness suffered from the gift of tender eyes. She remembers the nights the rain wouldn't cease. The creases her face made in grief. It was that night she made the promise never again. She drew her best friend in a world. Cold and alone. All within the confines of her sketch pad. Where she felt she could be herself. Illustrating the exact way he made her feel
