Nostalgia: Delicate But Potent

Today we went to the lake and played in the sun all day. My skin turned a bright pink and it stings when you touch it. You rubbed Aloe Vera on my wound, and the sting was gone. Today we went to a haunted house and monsters jumped from every turn. My heart pounded like a drum, thump, thump, thump, and I was terrified. You held me tight, and my fear was gone. Today we went to the hospital and I sat at your bedside. My tears flowed down my face. I didn't want to lose you. You smiled at me and I wearily wept because you were gone. Today I sat alone and cried in bed all day. My mind turned a dark gray and I sting when you enter. You sat in my mind all day, and the sting remained. Today I sat in my haunted house, haunted by the memories of you. My heart pounded like a drum, thump, thump, thump, and I was terrified. You stared at me all day, and my fear remained. Today I sat in the hospital and you were at my bedside. My tears flowed down my face. I was only trying to join you. You frowned at me and I wearily wept because still, you were gone.
