|2| But it was everything then...

Three years later, a new girl sits cross-legged on your bed.

She tastes like a different flavor of bubblegum than you are used to.

She opens up a book that you had to read in high school, and a folded picture of us falls out of chapter three.

Now, there are two unfinished stories resting in her lap.

Inevitably, she asks and you tell her.

You say: I dated her a while back.

You don't say: Sometimes, when I'm holding you, I imagine the smell of her vanilla perfume.

You say: She was younger than me.

You don't say: The sixteen summers in her bones warmed the eighteen winters my skin had weathered.

You say: It's nothing now.

You don't say: "But it was everything then."

It was quite touching if I'm being honest. I've never had a break up like this but being an empath it made my heart heart a little ngl.

Anyways, I'd like to know your thoughts about this.

Have a good day/night <33
