by Lauren Roberts

I had never known happiness before her. But if there is to be an after in which she doesn’t exist, I know I never will again.

“But you… you’re the embodiment of everything I am not. And yet, here I am, crawling back to you as though I’ve left a piece of myself behind.”

“I’m quite sure that even the stars are envious of you.”

“You make even the stars envious,” I repeat softly, leaning toward her. “Because one day—far from now—you will be up there beside them, outshining every single one.”

I’ve spent my whole life wishing to be wanted. And here he is, begging me to let him.

For the girl who shines so bright that the sun pales in comparison.
