I loved you beyond what I was supposed to, beyond what I should. I could not help myself. I was powerless to be anything but enamored with you. You had the power to raise purples inside my heart until they surrounded me, encompassed me, and buttressed me against the happiness inside myself. Which had been waiting to be resurrected by you. Why did you have to take my hand and take me ice-skating across the emotions of the world; Enjoyment in your arms punctuated by bruised knees on the ice. Did you have to keep reminding me of what it would be like without you every time we fought? But oh those beautiful highs when we were together. When the waltz we were dancing had us in the same place again. But the waltz was our own and it was our imperative to make the rules. We could have stayed together, forever, if we chose to. And that would have been my vote. With your smiles, your chortling laughs and your cackling laughs, your vulnerabilities, your ambitions beyond normalcy, your flashes of anger, your childishness and your family loyalty and your deep-seeded love of me. If we both loved each other beyond what was reasonable, then why aren't we still together? |

There was originally no break between the second and third stanza, but I felt that other readers may not feel the break that I put in when I read it if I didn't have a linebreak.
I'm not sure if the semi-colon at the end of the ice-skating line should be there.
I'm not sure if it was originally unpunctuated or a period.
