5. Christmas Memories (Creative Writing Portfolio)

Christmas Memories
 
The lights on the tree reminded me of that summer’s night we had spent together at the tip of Jordan Peak. The water below flowed freely¸ the sunset glistening across its surface; waving this way and that like a glorious mirage.
 
The presents that lay beneath, wrapped in emerald and trimmed in gold, brought me back to that look in your eyes at the moment you said those three words to me for the very first time.
 
The red that decorated the mistletoe made me smile at the thought of the vase of roses that one sat up on the windowsill in our kitchen. The kitchen where we once cooked every holiday dinner together.
 
I missed those days when you were once here next to me. the time when only an ocean kept us apart rather than a world of unknown Heavens. The heart of purple that sat, displayed on the mantle,, next to the Christmas Tree kept haunting me every time it caught my eye.
 
Every Christmas.
Every New Year.
Every day and night.
Forever.
