i.

a young boy and a young girl once crossed pathways and to his delight, she was the death of him.

he disappeared into the air with a (dampened tissue) from his mother and he tends to think that maybe he should have spent his time pleasing her, rather than upsetting her.

it isn't until his grave is marked in footprints and left in a path of erosion; quite simply sound among rose thorn bushes that have not been maintained since the day he was pushed into the creek.

and the girl who still lives whom he once found himself acquainted by has come to visit him for the first time in several years (to send her hearts and kisses that she'd never shared to this day).
