They tell me to forget him, like a dream fading at dawn, as if they think the dream held promises, the dream held us together. But it was a nightmare I can’t escape. It haunts me like a shadow, wrapping me in threads of darkness. His memories block my throat, his smile still makes my knees weak. They want me to run. They want me to let go. But every night the nightmare returns, reminding me that love is nothing but a fragile lie.
