The Girl with the Tear-streaked Cheeks

The bright summer days were not enjoyed by the girl with the tear-streaked cheeks.
The warm sunlight breeze did not grace her skin as she sat under the covers all day.
The pink and purple sunset fell behind the hills without a glance from the girl.
The peaceful moonlight was not seen through the closed shutters on her windows.
Her friends' laughter was not heard by the girl who was stuck in a past romance.
Her meals were not enjoyed as they used to be while she numbed herself to everything.
Yet somehow that essence of the summer days could not compare to the essence of her.
The tears that escaped and the whimpers she whispered called to a beauty beyond words.
The past she remembered was so filled with love that it drowned out the empty present.
