This is written for Denise’s Six Sentence Story word prompt – Confetti
We were so young.
It’s not our fault that
we didn’t have time
to rehearse life.
We didn’t understand that
stubborn promises were just a preface.
We loved so hard.
We were so inexplicable,
so endearing,
so annoying,
consumed by seven emotions
and six desires.
It was cold that day,
tears turned into ice,
snowflakes falling down
like confetti,
red-eyed, red-faced.
Flicker of Thoughts 
Very moving poem of two people possibly breaking up, but maybe it will not be so final, especially with “red-eyed, red-faced” at the end. I like how you used confetti to refer to snow.

First love and young love does leave a lasting memory. Some reunited God’s willing. Some went on to different journey.
Thanks Frank!

It is actually a Chinese saying. I looked it up too before I wrote it in the poem. I agree with you that it’s interesting. Thank you Reena!
