🎵I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did

🎶You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

🎵Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

🎵Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid 🎶

The click of her heels against the paved walkway.

She hated to walk there, to knock that door, to see that face.

She had been expecting her since she had gotten married with Dylan Wang, but she never showed up.

After news broke of her divorce with Dylan Wang she had called her and surprisedly she had agreed to see her.

They never had a loving mother- daughter relationship.

Shen Yue was always quiet and tried to be patient with her.

It was as if  Yue was avoiding her, or avoiding a topic.

She led her to the living room. Shen Yue felt like she was visiting a stranger.

"Do you want something to drink?"

Shen Yue said no.

Her eyes cold and her lips pressed tightly.
Just being in a room with her mother gave her anxiety.

"Why did you wanted to see me?"

Neither of them bothered with the falsehood of exchanging hugs or asking about each other.

It had been many years since Shen Yue had called her mom. It had been many years since she had said, "I love you mom."
Those words never existed for Shen Yue.
Her mother never said sweet things to her. Her mother never brushed her hair.
She never told her she was proud of her.

"I saw the news, you got divorce?"

She only gave a nod, "Is that all?"

Her mother smiled, "I just thought by now you would have understood what it was for me to be in a bad marriage."

Shen Yue narrowed her eyes, "What?" she said in disbelief.

The woman continued, "I suffered so much through my marriage, I thought now we would have something in common."
