Dear Evangeline,

Dear Evangeline,

I saw you laughing two days ago. I wish I could've had the joy of listening to whatever you were saying with that big and bright smile of yours. I don't know if I'm finally losing my mind or if every single detail -that I thought I knew of- has been traced in my soul with indelible graphite, but your hearty laughter still lives in me.

You were holding a cherry flavored drink. I thought you didn't like cherries, and I thought you'd stay in my life for so much longer. Our time together was significantly shorter than my sadness has lasted.

I wish I could tell you that seeing you has eased my tangled soul. However, it also left me with a new, deep, and unbearable void.
