The key...

She gave him the key that opens everything to her world. Made him promise never to give it back, even if she lost her word. N he held it close to his heart for the keeping. Shameless n selfless as there just was no such thing as leaving.  Happy. That's the thrill of the connection they shared in smiles lit up. So far behind there lines there was no returning from luv. It was them until the end came to take one or the other away. As only one would be left to carry on with memories expressed upon their face. As the bitter sweet relations changed through the course of time. Periodically one or the other was the one holding on to hope to ease the mind. With years lived they'd became someone else. Damn near a stranger due to together they forgotten what it was that was once felt. Until the moment came to be to, go their sperate ways. Redefining the contents of emotion still lingering in depths empty space. It seemed they were good on their own for so long. Then she met someone new that transformed her into a different sound of song. He asked her for her hand to wed as she gasped trying to catch her breath. Ready for a life of whatever comes next. N as she stood at the alter staring into his eyes. That old feeling of belonging came back when her ex walked through the doors n said, "hi". Jaws dropped but he arrived to the occasion in peace. With a stretched out hand to break a promise by giving her the key. The symbol of simplicity that bound them forever as one. He was willing to wish her the best with tears falling from what's been hushed. From the purity of admittance that it would be them in a lifetime of no matter what. With a silent look she knew he had to give up. N with a turn he stepped back to allow her choice to move on. So she could fulfill the dreams he couldn't help her explore. But before he got to the door she called out his name. With a unique but familiar tone in her voice she said, "this is yours babe". Stopping him from disappearing outta sight. To hide away like a creature chasing the night. She remembered in that moment that it was them no one else could ever explain. He must've unlocked the right door along the way to keep her wanting everything worth the save. For she couldn't let him live without her by his side. Once upon a time ago, luv found a like. It was meant to last as it's still alive n heard. Her friend kept his word to put her first.
