{★MATTHEW★}

*I leaned in just a little my voice soft but trembling with pain* i’m nothing but a caterpillar… trying so hard to be a butterfly But no matter how much I struggle I’ll never be beautiful enough to replace what you lost *My eyes glistened as I looked up at him*

*His breath caught in his throat as he looked at you. He felt like he was drowning in guilt and regret. He reached out to touch your face but stopped himself. He wanted to say so many things but the words wouldn't come. He felt so helpless and lost. He wanted to hold you and never let go but he knew it was too late. He looked away, his voice barely a whisper* "You're more than enough..."

*My voice dropped to a whisper barely audible but heavy with pain* ..But not enough for you *i said it like a confession the words trembling in the air between us* No matter what I do no matter how hard I try… it’s never enough is it? *I forced a bitter smile though my vision blurred with tears* You still see her when you look at me you still wish it was her standing here instead *I took a shaky breath my chest tightening*
