"Thanks to all of it but, I've made up my mind. I want to leave the time for myself now."

I read Noah's message immediately as I got home.

"Seriously? But at what point? We got back for only a day and now you wanted to leave again? Why?" I messaged back.

"I told you, I want to have time for myself. I don't want to care anymore. It's so fucking tired to care for anyone else."

"This is not you, I know you. Noah, you do everything for a reason."

He read my message without replying.

"You really want to know the reason, huh?" he finally replied after minutes of waiting.
"Of course! I don't want to just leave without any reasons!" I exclaimed.

"I'm with Amelia now."

I stared at the screen for seconds before I gained my consciousness back.

"Amelia? My best friend?"
"Mhm."
"Since when?"
"Not long after our first breakup."

I knew that she's his ex-crush but, I've never think that Amelia cheated that she's with Noah.

"But why? So that's it? The fact we love each other means nothing?" I asked.
"I do love you, but," Noah replied, "Maybe sometimes loving each other just isn't enough."

Amelia, oh, Amelia. I did everything to become alike with you but it still doesn't work. Your poetries, your hair, your aurora, your everything. I tried my best.

I guess I'm just a replacement of you. He got you now, isn't it? You got each other right now.

One day he's with me and he's saying 'I love you' and the next day he's with someone else, probably saying the same thing.

So did he really love me? What is love anyway?

Is it really that fleeting? Just because someone better comes into his life? Or is he annoyed with me?

What is love?
