They came back,
after months of silence,
when the memories and feelings faded,
when the pain subsided,
when the hope returned,
They came back,
just as beautifully as I remembered them,
with that smirk,
with those confident eyes,
knowing I'd fold to any request,
and I did,
I missed them as if I had been missing a piece of myself,
like a chasm had formed inside my soul,
and now I could have it back,
because no matter how badly they marred me,
I would always want them to return
