Four years ago the words "I love you" came from your mouth and etched themselves into my soul.

Three years ago the words "let it be" stained the skin over my rib cage.

Two years ago the word "someday" clouded my every thought.

One year ago the words "I love her" wormed themselves in between the broken pieces of my heart.

One month ago angry words dug up old wounds and carved new ones.

One week ago "will you marry me?" came from your mouth and etched themselves into her soul.

Today, the words "they're engaged" ripped every breath from my lungs.
