RavenSometimes happy memories turn into nothing but a bittersweet reminder of what once was. When Astor left, it seemed as though all the negative memories and emotions did too. Yet, now that he’s back, so are the feelings full force. Emotions I forgot I had towards him like care, lust, and longing. What if those feelings never left and maybe Astor hasn’t been the coward this whole time? Maybe I’ve been the one running away from it all instead of facing it head on... moreRavenSometimes happy memories turn into nothing but a bittersweet reminder of what once was.
