Welcome Back.

It hurt when you went away. Times were bleak. It seemed like all the color had gone out of my life. For years, nothing could replace the feeling I had when I was holding you. I'd wake up dreaming of you, the flavor of your sweet kiss still on my lips. Finally, after what seemed like a lifetime, thoughts of you were starting to fade away like a ghost in the breaking dawn.

Then it happened.

I booted up my Chromebook one late night, and couldn't believe my eyes. Was it really you? Were you really bringing color back into my black-and-white existence? I started asking my friends and internet strangers for advice. Should I even bother this time? Was it meant to last this time? Were you going to leave me brokenhearted after a few months time? What would that do to me?

Then I saw you in person. After all these years, it was like you had never even left.

I don't care if you're only around for a limited time. I want to make the most of our moments together. I want this time, no matter how short, to make sweet memories that last a lifetime.

God damn. I love you. If this doesn't work out I'm not sure what I'll do, save for wait for your next inevitable return.

Please, don't make me wait as long next time, Mountain Dew Pitch Black.
