| Remembering Love By Lady1Venus Author's Notes: Proceeds to a short story, Love Returns As I sit upon stage, On graduation night I remember my first love, Neflite. He was a warrior of the Negaverse. Throughout the evening, I think back to when Neflite was alive He was always kind and gentle to me. Even when he had used me. He died in my arms From saving my life. I was so sad when he died, I didn�t think I could live on. But I did. After Neflite died, I started to go out with Melvin. He was nice and kind But he could not fill the empty void in my heart. Not long after I started high school, I broke up with Melvin. It was tough on him But I couldn�t live with the lie any longer. My heart belongs to Neflite, now and always. I don�t think I�ll ever love again. I�m too afraid I might forget him. Or worse yet, I�ll betray him. I wouldn�t be able to live with myself, if I did. As the graduation comes to a close, I look out into the audience. There sitting behind my mother, I see a man who resembles Neflite But how can that be, Neflite is dead. As the graduates start leaving the stage, I ignore the man who looks like Neflite. No sense in ruining my night, People will think I�m being foolish. |
