8 Years, 8 Seconds

Don't Forget Me

By Mercedes ChavezPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

8 years, 8 seconds...

In an instant it will all disappear

I will be a distant memory

One you'll randomly remember and smile

I have finally accepted that I am just the girl you meet during the storm

The one that shows you what it's like to be wanted, supported, and loved

Just to be forgotten about

I truly believe I was put here to be a healer, a season, here for a brief but beautiful moment

But not meant to be anyone's lifetime

8 years, 8 seconds...

I will be the dream you remember until you take your last breath on this earth

Come with me, lets go on an adventure together, see the world through my eyes, let me paint a picture with my words, I promise you will be able to feel what I felt the first time I experienced it. Love, sadness and everything in between.
