❝she was a beautiful dreamer.
the kind of girl who
kept her head in the clouds,
loved above the S T A R S
and left regret beneath the EARTH
she walked on.❞
she let go of lily, the girl surveying her friend’s face. she wiped at a single tear, an empathetic smile pulling forth. “you know,” she said gently, as she repositioned on the bed. marlene scooted up beside her, intertwining her arm in lily’s, fingers meeting as she leaned her head on lily’s shoulder. “people leave us— sometimes unwillingly.”
her thumb traced circles against lily’s, “but they leave parts of themselves with you. love doesn’t cease when they’re no longer beside you,” marlene paused, staring at the bed beneath them. “and sometimes you’ll see the best parts of them in you.” a weak smile formed on the brunette’s lips, “your dad put the best parts of himself in you, love. he’s still here with you– even if it doesn’t much feel like it.”
❝thank you. it means a lot mar. i’m just really glad you’re here.❞
lily settled into the embrace, finally feeling a sense of relief after weeks.
