Your extraordinary,
and so I love you.
You call me your pretty girl,
and so I'm happy.
You give me a rose,
and a diamond,
and so I feel.
You take me dancing,
and are especially slow during a slow dance.
When we take our twilight walks,
you tell me the moon is the second most prettiest thing in the world,
and when I ask what is the first thing,
you tell me it's me.
when you lean toward my ear,
you whisper how you want to tell me a secret.
When I ask what it is,
you tell me you love me,
which makes my heart glow.
Then one day,
you say you have to leave for a while,
on a business trip.
We write letters back and forth,
then you send me one that surprises me.
You tell me you want to break up,
that your seeing someone else,
and you have fallen in love.
That makes my heart break,
and something inside me snaps.
I burn all your letters,
and watch as tears roll down my cheeks.
Your stuck in my memories,
and in all the picture frames.
But I move on,
and I know,
that I don't need you,
to survive.

This is an excellent work. I followed it with an "aww" expression through the first have and my face absolutely dropped when i got to the surprise letter. This is an emotional roller coaster of a tale with a huge hill and a bigger drop. Congrats, great write

oh my gosh love, first i want to give you a hug, because if you wrote this from experience, my heart goes out to you. Second, this was extraordinary!!! I loved the way you put use to the words in the word bank, and you actually read the rules and followed them.
Thanks so much for sharing this with me, and good luck in the contest, keep writing.
