The one that got away

The calm sea and the beautiful white sand

Stretched out in front of me. I thought

 our day was going perfectly. But little did 

I know it wasn't it was the Opposite. He 

told me something that made me feel

 Like my heart dropped. He apologized

 and walked away, Leaving me at the 

beach all alone. I was so confused and

I sat in the sand heartbroken as I watched

 the waves leap back and forth. I shut my

 eyes and the world disappeared. I lift 

My lids and all I see is him with me. I feel 

my fist clenched around my heart but can't 

seem to loosen up the grip. Everything seems

 Dark. I guess if he can walk away from me I 

Have to let him walk. Everything fades to black

Nothing left but our heartbeats.

My name is Aliyah. I'm from Chicago. I go to Ridgway Middle-High school. I'm in 10th grade and 15 years old.  I'm an artist, a photographer, and a writer. What inspired me to write this is a short paragraph I read on social media about a sad love story so I decided I wanted to write one myself.
