Hold Me Again

You appeared in my life as abruptly as my feelings for you. The tense feeling I was accustomed to was alleviated. You introduced Cloud 9 and I never wanted to leave. I fell for you hard. Who knew I would've gotten hurt. I should’ve known better than to let my guard down but your charm was so enticing and your smile drew me in. I felt safe in your hold, I never thought this would end. until your hold loosened up and the cold rushed in. all I craved was for the warmth of your arms around me again. but you slowly faded away and I was left to mourn. not the loss of a loved one, but the loss of you. you, who made me smile without an ounce of effort. you, who brought out the hidden treasures of myself. you, who showed me everything life was worth living for. and as the days went on and colder they grew, I had to learn how to continue living..... on my own one again.
