But Now

BUT NOW
Late under the moon light, hush, where the stars gleam so bright in the sky and there is only the sound of the Running River and sound of the freezing wind.
You held my hand and came close to me, close enough that every part of my body becomes motionless. You made me feel in a way nobody can make me. You looked into my eyes and I looked into yours, looking at your face, your small and naughty eyes, your little pink pimple on your cheek that made you look handsome, and not forgetting those wet and sweet lisp of yours.
You told me how you feel about me and that if I was the last option in your life you will still choose me, that…that you will stick with me and do whatever to keep me even on rough times.
You told me that you want to be my favorite hello and hardest goodbye…that you want to be with me till death do us apart.
You told me that you want to spend the rest of your life with me and, and you want to have a family with me. You told me you never going to revolutionize but you going to be the way you are perpetually 
You made promises, promises never to abscond me, never to hurt me or elevate a hand on me or the children. You said life its full of ups and downs, twist and turns, you going to be with me in each season, circumstances, condition, location, Position, site and place.
And yes, yes the feeling took me away, LOVE; I felt you, your words, your voice, the beat of your heart even how you held me.

BUT NOW, but now you no longer held my hand under that moon light but under the rain with thunders that fright a baby with no umbrella. But now you no longer tell me how you feel about me but how you have crucial problems you need to deal with.
But now you…you no longer stand near me and look into my eyes but stand at the door and tell GORE you are occupied. You no longer look at me with those small and naughty eyes but small and bad eyes….
But now you don’t tell me you want to be with me forever but you are done with me and you have someone to be with. But now I am favorite goodbye and your hardest hello.
But now am de last option to you and you will do whatever it takes to remove me on your memories. But now I am your favorite goodbye and your hardest hello.
But now you don’t want to spend your time with me and you just change like weather, lie time on the watch. But now you raise your hand anytime you feel like.
But, but now I am strong and I know I was wrong about you.

..BUT NOW...
